Initial support for blocking cards on Google Desktop #454
Conversation
The support is still limited (e.g. YT Channels aren't blocked.)

Done! What you said was right, the feature wasn't working at all on Firefox ESR. I removed the use of the I tested on Firefox, Firefox ESR and Chromium and everything seems to work fine. New FeaturesThese last few changes also include some improvements that I have been working on for the past few days. Now this entry handler has support for the The rule was expanded, so now it also support the rectangle cards to the side of the larger one shown in the previous video: demo-2.trimmed.webm
Additional CommentsSince there are so many variations to the patterns these cards have (e.g. whether it is an article or an Instagram post), it is likely that some edge cases will be found in the future, but nothing that a PR here and there can't fix. I think it is a solid first implementation. There are still some things I will include (support for the remaining cards), but for now, this PR is probably good enough already. If any revisions need to be made, just tell me :) |

Summary
This PR begins to implement a feature requested on #427, adding support for blocking the middle card on Google Desktop's card layout.
Further Explanations
Since this is my first PR that introduces actual code, I thought it would be a good idea to keep things simple.
This is an initial implementation that currently only supports the medium-sized card (on the right half of the screen).
There are still things to add (e.g. support for the
titleparameter).I tested both on Firefox and Chromium, and no issues were found.
There seems to be an issue when running
pnpm checkthat leads to an error, but after looking into it, I'm pretty sure that it has nothing to do with the changes made by this pull request.Demo
demo.webm
P.S. I'm willing to add full support for this card layout.
