This is seamless, nice one!

For anyone else:

news.ycombinator.com##table:not(.fatitem) tr > td.title:has-text(/{phrase1}|{phrase2}/):xpath(.. | ../following-sibling::tr[1] | ../following-sibling::tr[2])

I emailed HN and received a very nice reply. It's been unflagged now and wasn't done so by moderators.

Awesome! :)

I'd disagree somewhat there, they are examples of "sites that are not principally about technology and recur somewhat frequently", and it ends "(choose your own)".

The point is that these recur often and do not specifically have a technology focus, but are current events focused.

The list choices are not really the point either, just examples to highlight the uBO rules.

Also: "So not only are you paranoid about ads but general news stories also?" - I'm not sure what you mean to be honest.

Thanks, taking a look now.

Thanks, will do.

I just mean, you know, I read the news, but not necessarily from that list, it's just an example :)

Nice thank you. I had suspected this would get developed a little here.

Not a throwaway FYI, a first post.

It's a fair point but I think you must weigh that against what you principally want to occupy yourself with for that session.

Given that the number of comments are still visible, you can still see the hot topics, and then try to read the title from the tab. But I've actually found myself not doing that anyway.

Regarding the list, it's non-exhaustive.

Sorry about that, it's desktop too and I have no idea why. I tried to force line breaks but to no avail.

If anyone knows how to fix I'd be grateful to know.
