> There is another possibility - you're lazy and selfish, so you don't care how your interruptions affect others because your questions need to be answered right now with minimal effort on your end. But I'm sure that's not the case.

Please do not ever write sentences like this in a professional context where you are not friends with the recipients, it's terrible.

It sets the tone to "adult to children discussion where I think that I am smarter than you" which is the last thing you want when you try to solve on of your pain point.

One the other hand if you want me to avoid interacting with you as much as I can that would be spot on.

Javascript killer: https://pastebin.com/utE3275J

Yes, I'm using it as a bookmarklet. I'm using firefox but I think it should work the same for other browsers.

I use this JS bookmarklet to remove fixed elements and restore scrolling, it works most of the time:

I also have one to kill all running javascript and remove all event listeners, it works wonders when you are redirected to a paywall / login page after a few seconds.

I use bugmenot for websites that require an account to browse or to download stuff (looking at you Qt), it works most of the time

I think it's possible in professional edition but you have to be offline on home edition. (I messed up and installed pro for a home key, so I did it back to back with same ISO)

I reinstalled a computer about a month ago, same thing but I didn't have to mess with BIOS settings, going back 2 steps and disconnecting the wifi worked.

With BitWaden FF, you can use Ctrl+Shift+L to auto fill your most recently used account for the current website.

Hope it helps.

> Every change causes people to question why they use the site in the first place.

I was using twitter to follow very few, high quality feeds, and with this new update it was made clear that the intended usage is the opposite. No more twitter for me, I'm back to good old RSS feeds.

Beside that, I can't believe anyone would find the new design better than the old one on a monitor, the menu has more presence than the actual tweets.

Is this really a style though? I always assumed it was due to writers being non-native english speakers, and applying their primary language's noun gendering to english (In my case, in French all nouns are gendered)

Not so long ago I had to register to a website allowing a comma (or was it a semicolon?) in a password during registration but refusing to login using said password. Fun times.

On your second link I can directly right click and save, on others (like Twitter) I just have to shift right click to bypass the blocking scripts. (Firefox desktop with multiple privacy extensions)
