Using an adblocker to block distracting or unnecessary elements of web pages
On the uBlock Origin extension (Chrome | Firefox) one can right click to “Block element” and pick an element of a webpage to hide. I find this useful for removing distractions or ugly elements (but I don’t think speeds up page loading at all)
Some examples
- the Facebook news feed (for which dedicated addons also exist) as well as the footers and left and right sidebars - the YouTube comments, suggested video sidebar, search bar, footer - the footer on Amazon
