Is there a way to blacklist some sites on mobile HN?


Hello everyone,

I browse mainly HN with my mobile (website and Hacki) and it happens to me to not want articles from one or more specific sites, let's say youtube or the nytimes for example.

To your knowledge, is there any existing HN mobile app that can do that ?

I dont like clicking on articles that I then discover are behind a paywall

if you have ublock origin installed you can add a filter to the "My filters" section.

this blocks wsj.

www.news.ycombinator.##.g:has(a[href="wjs."])

www.news.ycombinator.##a[href="wjs."]:upward(1)

Do the same for your search engine to eliminate all 20 pages of amazon searches from startpage when searching for a new pair of socks.

www.startpage.##.g:has(a[href="amazon."])

www.startpage.##a[href="amazon."]:upward(1)

works with startpage, google and qwant.

Just change the search engine name and website you want to block

I think this can be done fairly easily with uBlock Origin. You'll need a mobile browser that supports extensions like Kiwi browser.

Personally I’m fine with simply hiding posts that I don’t want to see or visit. Hiding status remains after refresh.

Does Filter Keywords in settings not do what you want in hacki?
