Would it have any practical applications that you can see beyond uBlock Origin, or is it just for the cool factor?

I imagine you'd use it in combination with uBlock Origin. The latter would prevent ads from being loaded in the first place, but when the site itself is presenting you with sponsored results, email signup overlays, and so on, you'd use a content filter like this to prevent them from rendering.

I know you can accomplish a lot of this kind of direct content filtering with uBlock Origin, but as far as I'm aware you have to configure e.g. CSS selectors per site.
