Little Hack
It annoys me whenever I encounter a website like quora which hides the real content with a overlay and a pop up to sign in. Little do they know I just delete the overlay element from the Dom 😁😁.
Who else does this?

Lol me too
But i eventually got a little browser extension that does it with one click though.

It knocks off any sort of overlay , just dont click it more than once per page or it kinda buggers the DOM lol

@boubalo
Hey I think a extension is kind of a overkill but why not it's fun making one. Can you tell me more about making extensions, how much time it takes and other good resources etc. I am front end developer BTW.

TamperMonkey/GreaseMonkey ftw!!

Me too doing the same for Quora..even I have account with Quora

I do this with the Boston Globe. Their paywall can just be deleted from the dom.

I'm so doing this now.

I believe most of us do it If we don't have another option.

I do that all the time, especially when watching tv/sports online with all the ads.

The best part of being a dev: you can manipulate the DOM when a website doesn't behave well or as you expect #wk23

Some website use redirect. I manually slow the page load so I can stop it before the redirect.

@0tikurt not if they disable right click with javascript!!! In that case, there's nothing you can do, well nothing except for:

[ ctrl ] + [ shift ] + [ i ]

God do I love shitty DRM

Firefox private window

I've created plugins like this for news sites in my country. I wanted to publish it on GH but people told me not to because of legal stuff..

I do that all the time. I do that with Instagram when I just want to see an image and not have to log in.

@simeg Well if emulators are okay why not extensions right ? I don't think there will be a problem because of just a little extention and I didn't hear anyone getting sued for blocking annoying elements. You are acessing any non public data you are just changing the site into a more usable version privately. I think it would be under fair use.

I like using stylish for things like that. Though its very site specific you can't go wrong with it.

@boubalo name please

protip for quora, add as a querystring ?share=1 and tada !

It's useful to change input type from password to text in case you want to see what you are typing. Or if you want to hack some accounts 😎
