| Nov 12, 2018 at 16:54 | comment | added | Gavin S. Yancey | @Andrew would that also block the list of questions from tex.stackexchange.com? | |

It's stackexchange.com###question-list (not really selectable from the picker, but stackexchange.com###main-area is close enough, if only it also breaks the layout)

| Nov 12, 2018 at 16:38 | comment | added | Gavin S. Yancey | @Andrew I tried that a while ago; IIRC there's no clear selector to use to pick out the list (it's just an unlabled div or something). | |
| Nov 12, 2018 at 16:30 | comment | added | Gavin S. Yancey | @Andrew Any solution that blocks the HNQ list from that page is a good answer to me. | |
| Nov 12, 2018 at 11:10 | comment | added | Andrew T. | Are you sure you want to blank the whole page of SE homepage instead of only HNQ? Personally, SE homepage is my navigation page to All Sites & Filtered Questions, which is still useful. On the other hand, have you tried the "block element" when right-clicking the specific element you want to block? | |
| Nov 11, 2018 at 21:32 | comment | added | fixer1234 | @g.rocket, the full list is a dedicated web page. Just don't go there. Blocking a web site or suppressing the content of a web site is different from blocking ads. It also isn't clear how landing on a blank page is acceptable, where landing on the same page with its content is a problem (when you can simply not go to the page). Why go at all to a site you don't want to see? Better explanation might help. What problem are you trying to solve? | |
| Nov 11, 2018 at 17:25 | comment | added | Gavin S. Yancey | @fixer1234 That question is about blocking the HNQ sidebar, whereas mine is about blocking the full-page HNQ list at stackexchange.com. Similar motivation, but none of the answers to that question are applicable to mine. | |

| Nov 11, 2018 at 4:20 | comment | added | fixer1234 | To this post, questions about software installed on your computer, including browsers and installed add-ons, are on topic. Questions about web sites and web content generally aren't. Neither are requests for recommendations for software or add-ons So questions about blocking web content have to be carefully worded to clearly focus on using your installed software. | |
| Nov 11, 2018 at 4:14 | comment | added | fixer1234 | I don't think this should have been migrated. However, if your goal is just to block HNQ, that was asked and answered a couple of years ago. See superuser.com/questions/1157967/…. | |
| Nov 10, 2018 at 22:04 | comment | added | Ramhound | I would agree it shouldn't have been migrated, but only because, the question itself isn't clear. | |
