This is a curated list of rules designed to enhance your browsing experience by blocking cluttering and other unwanted web content. 🌐🚫
This means that it will intentionally block popups, “also read” sections, newsletter forms, recommended articles within article texts, annoying requests to use paid subscriptions and other elements that might distract reading on websites. 📰❌ Furthermore it will lower the opacity of paid articles and remove the blur effect of paywalled excerpts. 📰🔓 This list aims to provide a cleaner, faster, and more enjoyable browsing experience. 🚀✨
Enjoy a cleaner and more enjoyable browsing experience! ✨

Visual clutter can significantly affect how the brain processes information. It can increase mental fatigue, as our brains struggle to process multiple objects at once. The brain has limited capacity for visual processing, meaning it can’t effectively see all items in a cluttered environment simultaneously. Objects compete for attention in the visual system, with more prominent or relevant items gaining priority, while less noticeable items are harder to focus on.
Many researchers studied this field and all sources that I found agree that visual clutter can have a significant impact on cognitive processing. Studies show that when objects are organized into clear groups, it reduces competition, making them easier to process, while disorganized objects demand more mental effort and attention. This excess mental effort from clutter can lead to irritability, decreased focus, and a drain on cognitive resources.
Thus, with these blocking and style rules, I’m trying to declutter various websites to improve our focus and mental efficiency when consuming information online.
TL;DR: Ad-blocking rules that remove distracting elements could enhance cognitive processing by reducing visual clutter, allowing for clearer focus on essential information.
