How to block the doge icons on Twitter

[bobsil1]

To block the banner doge, formatted as an AdGuard for Safari user rule:

twitter.com##h1[role="heading"]

To block the splash screen “loading…” doge:

twitter.com##div[aria-label="Loading…"]

When I see Twitter I understand that Elon will be never able to reach his dream about Mars. I do not blame him more than rest of the society but I have a strong feeling he made a wrong turn in his life.

Alternative workaround to running whatever code Twitter decides to send tomorrow: replace Twitter URLs with nitter.net.

There's at least one good F-Droid utility for redirecting clicked links automatically.

Quality work there...since they are using EasyList filter syntax, they also work in Any-OS Chrome & Firefox, using uBlock --> Settings (Gears) --> My Filters (Paste & Apply)

Thanks.

I do worry that these might be too general and will block other things?

To block the Doge icon at the top left of the main page I use

twitter.com##.r-lrsllp.r-lrvibr.r-1plcrui.r-bnwqim.r-dnmrzs.r-8kz0gk.r-16y2uox.r-yyyyoo.r-4qtqp9.r-1cvl2hr > g > path

in uBlock Origin. This was created by the Block Element picker.

It does leave a space which your rule doesn't do.

I kind of like the dog icon, it seems more personable.

Thank you

The tribal “anti Elon” thing on HN is getting really boring now. This is so petty. Can we move on, please?

[Fragoel2]

While replacing a company logo with a shit crypto reference is not petty at all...

More like "How do you do, fellow kids?"

[cbeach]

He's just having some fun. It doesn't hurt you in any way, and it makes a lot of people chuckle. Lighten up!

[Fragoel2]

No, he's manipulating the crypto market, like he already did before (Doge went up almost 25% since this "change")

[cbeach]

If Doge goes up 25% because some dude changed an icon on some chitchat website, then perhaps Doge is not a serious market worth worrying about.

And?

[bunbun69]

Does the anti elon thing hurt you in any way?

[eimrine]

It hurted me earlier when Elon was small but used to have a success in everything.

I mean, I can see a lot of reasons that people might be irritated by this beyond simple dislike of naughty old Mr Car. Honestly, I think those of us who can't stand him have largely left Twitter at this point.
