uBlock Origin review

I must’ve purged over 50% of visual elements from Fandom wikis with my uBlock filters. It’s outrageous how much garbage is served. I wonder what their UX design meetings look like.

I just browsed Memory Alpha with filters off. Wow. I had no idea it had gotten so bad.

A site:reddit.com/r/DaystromInstitute/ search with a plugin to redirect www. to old. if you're not logged in can replicate a lot of what Memory Alpha has from all the discussion. At least until Reddit finishes alienating everyone interested in weird niche discussion in favor of clickbait.

Even for areas where there is a community wiki (e.g. uesp, combineoverwiki), Google seems to prefer the Wikia/Fandom version with all the crap on the pages.

And a lot of those community wikis that originally set up not on Wikia intentionally, like minecraft, terraria and wowpedia wikis, ended up on Gamepedia which Wikia took over and reeled them back in.

There are no UI, UX, or devs present, just marketing execs.
