>wonder if there are similar projects out there

Yes, I've been using Tampermonkey for filtering and modifying sites I visit frequently for 5 years or more. Before that, Ublock to render the page to my preferences. I started with filtering unwanted items in Craigslist and it grew from there. Now, I even filter HN.

My filters mostly remove topics but I also highlight articles with topics of interest. I use this along with scripts and extensions to "white-out" any articles I've already seen.

As you mentioned, though the logic is generally the same, the script has to be customized for each site.

There are concerns that Manifest 3 will cripple adblocking and many userscripts so I've recently moved to Firefox (Crostini).
