Feature suggestion: Ability to hide HN advertising aka "job ads"

Open nick-s-b opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

Hi, HN is often full of YC companies' job ads since they get a free boost on the front page. And the only thing you can do is hide them. I wish there was a way to hide them automatically. Can someone make it happen? Thanks for an amazing extension ❤️ !

Hey! When you say "hide", do you mean just removing them/making them invisible, or the HN button "hide"?

@plibither8 Yes... making it equivalent to hitting hide. I just don't want to see them at all since those are useless to me.

Such a feature, if implemented, will be better if disabled by default since not all users would want HN Jobs to be hidden. What do you say?

@plibither8 Sure! An option that's not enabled by default is fine by me :)

Alright then! I'll work on this for the next update :)

Cheers
