Are there any addons as essential as uBlockOrigin? (lemmy.world)

I would love to find extensions that make me think "How did I live without this?"

While we're on the subject, does anyone know of a way to block those scroll triggered pop-ups that are everywhere these days? You know the ones, you get a little bit down a page, then:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

In the uBlock Origin Settings -> Filter Lists check lists named "annoyances" and "newsletters" or try other additional ones. That should help.

You can try PopUpOFF. It's not perfect and can be over-aggressive at hiding legitimate popups but it's worth a try.
