Re:Show HN: Extension for improving case law search on Google Scholar
on Monday December 03, 2018 @02:17PM (#18591933)
This is a Chrome extension I made that adds various UI enhancements to Google Scholar's case law search. Features include: a quick-view window for easy navigation, multicolored search-term highlighting and hash-marking, cited case highlighting, clickable search-result snippets, pin-cite recognition in case links, clickable search terms for cycling through occurrences, Bluebook citation cleanup, and two-columned printing.
I appreciate any feedback.

I don't know if it counts, but there's lite.cnn.io
Besides that, I just disable javascript for The New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today, etc.

Everyone should block Segment requests when browsing. If you have EasyPrivacy installed, then you're all set.

My adblocker detects approximately 44 trackers on that page, including one from connect.facebook.net.

Another approach for YouTube without YouTube: subscribe to YouTube channels and playlists by RSS. I set up an app for this. Just head over to https://www.epiyoutube.com. Or whenever you're on YouTube and viewing a channel, user, or playlist, just add 'epi' to the url, right in front of 'youtube,' and there's your RSS feed.
Oh, and another approach: watch YouTube videos on Bing Videos. I actually use that more than I use my RSS app. Just make sure you've got your adblocker on, and you're all set.

Can you explain this a little more? Can this be done on a personal phone? I was under the impression that the hosts file was essentially untouchable on an iPhone.

For anyone who's interested, I also maintain a tracking protection list for Internet Explorer. It's based originally on the Ghostery and Disconnect lists, but I now update it independently. It's designed to be concise and speedy, yet also comprehensive. Note, however, that due to the limitations of tracking protection lists in IE, it can't block everything. You may need to supplement it with a small hosts file. Check it out here: https://github.com/amtopel/tpl

FYI: I created an app that converts any YouTube channel into a podcast. Just type 'epi' right before 'youtube' in the channel url.
