I created filters to make Fandom.com useable

  So fandom.com has a lot of great content on it. Unfortunately, that content is obscured with a ton of unnecessary garbage like promotion and ads that takes up more of the page than the actual content. This is a list of uBlock Origin filters that I personally use to make fandom.com readable. In my personal experience, this actually makes fandom a joy to use :)

  My goal was to remove anything that's moving, and anything that's unrelated to the wiki. What you get is a simple, static webpage. Exactly what I wanted.

  fandom.com is yet another example illustrating why the model of big entities replacing independents forums and wikis has failed (also see reddit). Corporate interests are completely disconnected from the communities. Many wikis have started to migrate to their own platforms and I hope to see more of that in the future.
