Brilliant, and Thank You.
Ironically, though, this will probably limit severely the quantity and quality of data I can feed back to this Mozilla project via this add-on...

No problem, I hope it works out for you! Feel free to spread the word to others as well as provide sites that are causing issues for you so I can add fixes to the list.

Probably olark and other chat bot crap can be added too. They are mostly used these days for pushy sales people to hook casual browsers.

Fantastic. You must submit your list to the uBlock Origin author for inclusion in the list of available filters.

gorhill is aware of it [0]... I don't want to be too pushy and would rather let him come to his own conclusion on whether to include or not.

Just want to say; I'm checking in after a few days of using it and... if i think about it, i guess i'm clicking that "killsticky" bookmark less and less.
its funny, suddenly i don't even have to think about it, which is what this is all about - reducing cognitive load.
re inclusion on ublock and the like: it should probably be an option that people can enable/disable; ublock is more about blocking ads/trackers, but i would wager that most people are annoyed with sticky stuff too.
ready for the next challenge?.... getting rid of sites that fuck with the default scroll behaviour ;)
thanks again :)
