My personal filters are categorized into:

- advertisements: things that weren’t caught by the third-party filter lists, e.g. Discord upsells

- animations: gimmicks that spend CPU for cosmetic effect, or visual effects that worsen a headache

- annoyances: components such as sticky headers that conflict with content, and unused features

- dark patterns: fake/inflated notification badges

- distractions: unsolicited suggestions, e.g. Hot Network Questions

- theming: removing classes that conflict with user styles
