When I started angel investing in the late 1990s, a tech investment included a significant technology risk, with the potential upside being groundbreaking innovation. Being an investor at this time meant taking a considerable technology risk and betting on actual tech, such as nanotech, semiconductors or biotech.

E-commerce, albeit hyped and interesting, was not considered tech. It was “Business 2.0”, plain and straightforward, hype included.

      If anything ever happens to ublock i’ll definitely switch to that one as retaliation. Unfortunately they dont work together and ublock has better features for blocking stuff I dont want to see.

          it can block any element from the website, even things that are not ads. If you for some reason wanted to remove button “mark all as read” or from this website you could do it. Just remember to add notes to the blocklist so you know what is blocking what if you need to unblock something later. For example, i really dislike shorts on youtube so i just removed the entire shelf and side button. I guess you could do same with some other tool, but this is just more clean way to do it and doenst require extra extensions.

          It also seems to be much more serious about blocking ads than other blockers and the dev seems to actively work towards fixing any anti-adblock stuff websites add.

          Noscript is more like whitelist for scripts and first line of defence for me.

            Hmm, I thought I saw a similar picker existing in AdNauseam, but I may be wrong. I could definitely get on board with your approach; while Inspector can delete stuff, it doesn’t remember them across page reloads or sessions, so this would be handy indeed!
