Lovers and users of uBlock, who we know are many in here, we discovered with enormous regret that we will soon have to say goodbye to the project Open source Let's Block It! Before we could even talk to you about it, it was our intention to do it precisely in these days, the announcement was made that this plans will close its doors after two years of happy activity.
How did it work? First of all, as you may have understood, it was necessary to have the mythical uBlock Origin installed. Once installed on your Browsers as you may already know, you can click on the icon and then on the gears at the bottom right. It will open for you dashboard and in the tab called “My filters” you can insert all the filters you want.
On this page you can insert all the filters you want, if you try to go to any page and press the right button and then on "Block element" you can choose to block some parts by creating custom filters.
You can then find these filters on the page that we described above, written in a particular code that you can possibly study here.
Goodbye to Let's Block It
Over the years, the community of this site has created various lists that you can manually insert into uBlock Origin to delete certain parts of pages. An example was the ability to hide certain objects on Amazon (like Echos, Kindles and FireTVs). Or, if you still use the Google search, it was possible clean it up partly thanks to a series of filters designed specifically.E
There is also a filter to hide comments on SoundCloud and that to hide the infamous YouTube Shorts. In short, a few have been selected and based on your needs you can choose what to appear and what not.
Some lists probably still work but will no longer be updated over time so if you plan to use them again, take this into account.
We have always liked the idea a lot and we are sorry that unfortunately it will no longer be possible to create an account to manage your lists but we hope that some information will still be available.
In the meantime, if you want, you can follow the discussion on its closure at this address: Shutting down the letsblock.it project and its official instance. Maybe over time new things and other projects from the developer come out (which he already said of wanting to move up anyway Codeberg 💙)
