Why it took a long time to build the tiny link preview on Wikipedia

SO's hot network questions was so bad that I enabled my ad-blocker on SO and added a custom rule to hide that part of the page. At least now when I go to find an answer on SO without falling in a 30-60 min rabbit hole.

Please post this rule, it would be very helpful.

What’s frustrating is that this has been brought up as an issue on StackExchange and rejected as WONTFIX.

I'm using uBlock origin. The rule is:

  stackoverflow.com###hot-network-questions

I've used the selector tool of uBlock to do it.

Edit: more on this: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/222721. Linked in one of the answer is an extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sidebaroverflow/lh...

There are also other solutions on that page.

These rules work for me, using uBlock Origin:

    stackoverflow.com###hot-network-questions
    stackoverflow.com###feed-link
