Oh yeah, I’m a terrible text block skimmer and desperately need line breaks, punctuation, etc. (Also, not to mention the repetition really triggered my need to skim, lol). That many repeated phrases turned some words into white noise. So that was my bad.

Good to hear the element blocker works!

It def sounds tedious to manually block things, but like some comments have mentioned, there are probably some browser add ons that may have the functionality you seek.

TL;DR: OP could try using your finger on your phone to keep your place?

Oh boy. I design UI (games, not software) and OP’s very specific need would stomp on a very common need for why people select text… which is to copy/paste.

While on a computer, text selection doesn’t typically summon a pop up, it’s needed in mobile because how else would you easily get to copy and paste? Everyone else would rage at the loss of the tooltip and any other interaction would be painfully hidden if it was delegated to a combo of pressing your lock buttons or volume buttons while highlighting text.

Quick edit: didn’t see the screenshot of the widget, might be the site you’re using, or browser? Also any adblocker add on should be able to hide those elements.

I was just at the hometown of the Michelin tire and they’re so proud that their metro and tram lines all use rubber tires. It certainly did not make the ride any quieter or smoother.

I had to scroll so far to see someone who likes 6! I’m a lefty, and every pencil felt so uncomfortable because of my grip and this was one of the few which didn’t make my fingers hurt.
