This isn’t just about applying some regexes, it’s about disabling utterly obnoxious “features” of web sites.

Until a content blocker can offer a right-click “block THIS element” feature, they won’t come close to the power of uBO. The UI alone for highlighting the exact offender in the document tree is brilliant. Every time a “newsletter” pops in my face, I can banish it forever. Every unnecessary floating space-stealing navigation bar, I can banish, returning the screen space that was stolen from me. Every scroll-with-the-article Facebook/Twitter gadget can be similarly removed.



While not a right-click, 1Blocker for macOS Safari does indeed a support "block this element" feature with their extension.
