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 :)
