Is this all on a desktop/laptop computer? I’m on my phone 95% of the time but I see a lot of conversations on Lenny about how to block ads or work around YouTube’s restrictions and they make it seem like people are on a desktop full time. I guess it’s just a little surprising to me if that’s the case.
I’m using Adguard, but most will have element blocking as a feature.
Basically, I select “block ads on this website”, and I click on the element. A small box comes up where I can fine tune the selected element (I usually do this to get cleaner results), then I preview and confirm the setting.
I’m able to then take that filter, and use it pretty much anywhere else that I use adguard (Android phone, another computer, etc.). It’s awesome.
But like I said, most adblockers will have this feature, including the popular ublock origin. It might just be under a different name.
You can do this for any website :)

UBlock Origin works on Firefox Mobile for Android the same as on Desktop. It’s only Apple users who eat shit.

On Apple we have Firefox focus, it’s a single tab browser with Adblock. Works for YouTube and other websites.

As long as you can run the adguard browser extension in a mobile browser, then you can add new elements to block.
But if that’s not an option, you can create those rules on a desktop browser, then add them to Adguard on mobile (the app, not the browser extension).
As long as you have the rules in a filter list, it’ll work anywhere. These amazon specific sanitation rules may already be available on public adblocking lists, and in that case, they could work regardless of the adblocking app being used.
