# Web Annoyances Ultralist - *unsuck the web!*



## Intro



Are you tired of not being able to use all of your screen real estate for the text that matters on a website

because floating headers and other distracting elements are blocking your view?

Reclaim your screen real estate with Web Annoyances Ultralist!



Block annoying web elements such as [sticky headers](https://alisdair.mcdiarmid.org/kill-sticky-headers/), [dickbars](https://daringfireball.net/2017/06/medium_dickbars), [floating headers](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22258847/51347203-7482d700-1a6d-11e9-96f8-0548173c7b79.png), [scrolling headers](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22258847/51347203-7482d700-1a6d-11e9-96f8-0548173c7b79.png), [fixed headers](https://zichy.de/public/siufh.html), [scrolling videos](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22258847/51348044-aac15600-1a6f-11e9-9507-a9341165d7d6.png), [stickynavs](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22258847/51347203-7482d700-1a6d-11e9-96f8-0548173c7b79.png), [social icons](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22258847/51347990-89606a00-1a6f-11e9-91f9-12cf11de1feb.png), [social share bars](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=social+share+bars&iax=images&ia=images), [smartphone app banners](https://www.hanselman.com/blog/IdLikeToUseTheWebMyWayThankYouVeryMuchQuora.aspx), [app download prompts](https://thenextweb.com/basics/2018/11/21/how-to-stop-reddits-annoying-app-download-prompt/), [cookie notices](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22258847/51349381-338dc100-1a73-11e9-9f76-1fbd4ee74561.png), [GDPR warnings](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/askjack/2018/jul/05/what-should-i-do-about-all-the-gdpr-pop-ups-on-websites), [scroll to top buttons](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=scroll+to+top+button&iax=images&ia=images), [modal overlays](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22258847/51345822-fc66e200-1a69-11e9-9ee0-248696b8f07f.png), [interstitial site overlays](https://moz.com/blog/popups-seo-whiteboard-friday), [removed or hidden overflow scroll bars](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22258847/51346400-8fece280-1a6b-11e9-8d5b-9cc0c2713dea.png), [subscription nags](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/22258847/51347205-76e53100-1a6d-11e9-93a3-b6e5afbe3540.png), and generally distracting elements that have increasingly been turning the web into a [user-hostile](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=user-hostile) environment.



When possible, sticky headers, stickynavs, floating elements, scrolling videos and more will be pinned in place to prevent site breakage.
