I've just seen your post from 3 days ago too :)

6 points by perihelions:

This is seamless, nice one!

For anyone else:

news.ycombinator.com##table:not(.fatitem) tr > td.title:has-text(/{phrase1}|{phrase2}/):xpath(.. | ../following-sibling::tr[1] | ../following-sibling::tr[2])

I emailed HN and received a very nice reply. It's been unflagged now and wasn't done so by moderators.

Awesome! :)

I'd disagree somewhat there, they are examples of "sites that are not principally about technology and recur somewhat frequently", and it ends "(choose your own)".

The point is that these recur often and do not specifically have a technology focus, but are current events focused.

The list choices are not really the point either, just examples to highlight the uBO rules.

Also: "So not only are you paranoid about ads but general news stories also?" - I'm not sure what you mean to be honest.

Thanks, taking a look now.

Thanks, will do.

I just mean, you know, I read the news, but not necessarily from that list, it's just an example :)

Nice thank you. I had suspected this would get developed a little here.

Not a throwaway FYI, a first post.

It's a fair point but I think you must weigh that against what you principally want to occupy yourself with for that session.

Given that the number of comments are still visible, you can still see the hot topics, and then try to read the title from the tab. But I've actually found myself not doing that anyway.

Regarding the list, it's non-exhaustive.

Sorry about that, it's desktop too and I have no idea why. I tried to force line breaks but to no avail.

If anyone knows how to fix I'd be grateful to know.

Hello, this post actually made me make a post of my own.

I think you can have your cake and eat it here.

If you filter HN with uBlock Origin to remove topics and sources you are not interested in, i.e. non-technical ones in my case, probably the case for many others too, then you can create what Lobsters was going for, but here on HN.

You get the fully populated, buoyant chat, whilst fine tuning the scope of topics and sources you see.

I detailed the uBO rules here a moment ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38510651
