How can I filter certain domains in my HN feed?


I would like to auto-avoid certain domains (let's call them flirgleburk.co and gringlepuff.net for sake of argument)

Is there a way to prevent certain source domains from showing in my HN feed?

ie, any time a flirgleburk.co or gringlepuff.net link is posted, hide it from my view?

uBlock origin custom filter:

  news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(td.title):has(span):has(a:has-text(/(flirgleburk\.co|gringlepuff\.net)$/))
  news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(td.title):has(span):has(a:has-text(/(flirgleburk\.co|gringlepuff\.net)$/)) + tr
  news.ycombinator.com##tr.athing:has(td.title):has(span):has(a:has-text(/(flirgleburk\.co|gringlepuff\.net)$/)) + tr + tr.spacer
Might not be 100% optimal filter but it has worked for me for quite some time.

Here's a userscript to block any arbitrary keywords:

Using a browser plugin, there are probably multiple options. It should be able to match strings and then remove elements. Ad Block can do this to some extent, as an example.
