Some of these add-ons are redundant because of uBlock.

I wish there wasn't such a heavy tech focus. Common problem with a lot of the alternatives, the early adopters get on but they only want to talk about tech!

Forcing employees to work any number of hours

Full stop. What is the point of all this automation if it doesn't make our lives better? 40 hours 5 days a week is no way to live life.

I don't personally have an opinion on this but some Chicagoans have very strong opinions one way or the other:

"Dibs" refers to the practice of holding a shoveled-out parking space after a heavy snowfall by putting chairs, laundry baskets, or other items in the street to mark the claimed space.

I hate leaf blowers.

  • Gas leaf blowers should be banned.
  • Leaf blowers should be banned.
  • Noise should be banned.

Blowing leaves is the most Sisyphean suburban American homeowner false task imaginable.

Oh there's so many

  • Giant fresh water ocean
  • Low CoL for a city
  • Most convenient airport (in the world)
  • Architecture If I had to pick one thing I guess it'd be the CoL to arts and culture ratio.
 

I got tired of seeing clickbaity thumbnails and wondered if I would be happier without them at all. I added ytimg.com to my blacklist as a wildcard about a month ago and I've found that I use the website more deliberately than before. And it works on the YouTube app for Android and my smart TV!

If you don't want to block it for every device on the network you can add it to the Group Management lists as well.
