How to block the doge icons on Twitter

21 points by bobsil1 3y ago

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…"]

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)

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

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

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

      Does the anti elon thing hurt you in any way?

        It hurted me earlier when Elon was small but used to have a success in everything.
    - Fragoel2 3y ago
      No, he's manipulating the crypto market, like he already did before (Doge went up almost 25% since this "change")
      - drstewart 3y ago
        And?

        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.

  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.

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.

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

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.
