I keep going to websites that have a very annoying chyron at the top that I have to scroll down to get it out of view. I'd like to get an add-on that could do this scroll drop automatically. Any ideas?
|
|
|
|
|
Not that, but I have one for Edge called 'click to remove element' that works well. There may be something similar for Firefox.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I could scroll down myself, so having to click on it would not be an improvement. Also, I already have uBlock installed.
|
|
|
|
|
The one I have for Edge remembers the setting. You might be able to find a similar extension for FF.
|
|
|
|

That seems so specific to me I doubt you've be able to find an add-on that does exactly what you're after.
(I had to look up "chyron")
Does that caption have a button to make it go away (like those annoying "yes, accept cookies" types of banners), or is it simply there to take up space at the top of the screen with no means to make it go away (and doesn't scroll along with the page so it always remains visible)? I'd think you'd have better luck finding an add-on that can look for something in the DOM with a specific name, and place it inside, let's say, a hidden div.
It might be more involved than ideal, but if it's that annoying, might be worth the extra effort in the end.
Are those public sites? Can you provide some examples we can load?

It has a checkbox to click it away. It's a website that only gives this message out to (some) folks that have an account, so if you don't have an account, it won't be there. (geni.com)

I was gonna ask, do you have to have an account, but given the nature of the site (now that I see it) I suppose you'd be very limited in what you can do if you didn't.
Do you really spend that much time on that site that you have to proactively seek something to alter its behavior?

Idalia went right over us.
Yard looks like a war zone.
Been without power all day and doesn't look like we'll come back on line for some time
Next week or so I'll be intimate with my chain saw and splitting maul.
[Update]
Power going to be out for a week. Storm took out substation.
[/update]
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

I used to live about a mile away from Hurricane Katrina's eyewall footprint. My street looked like a scene out of an Iraq war.

Good news, but work ahead. Lots of firewood.

We were lucky. In central west Florida it missed us by some 20 miles, but the surge was bad. Luckily our house is high enough to avoid the surge, but large areas were under water.
Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

Curious question: How do you get access to the network? Do you have a power generator? Or a really huge battery for your laptop/smartphone?
It is not just you: Your device, whether a smartphone or a wired computer, communicates with a local base station or switch. It needs power as well. Here in Norway, the battery requirements for mobile phone base stations was raised a few years ago, from 4 to 6 hours. (In the days of public phone, POTS, the switches had battery backup for 48 hours of operation, but making similar requirements to commercial operators in inconsistent with profit goals.)

Cell phone.
Still no power, 80% of the surrounding counties still without so looks like it might be 2 or 3 days.
We had to call electrician as power pole pulled line off house.
We'll be working cleaning up for a couple weeks. We have a 3 acre wooded lot so you can imagine the work involved.
I don't think before I open my mouth, I like to be as surprised a everyone else.

Do you have a charger for your cell phone in your car, or will you be online only until your phone battery runs out?
Do you happen to know how your local mobile base station keeps up?
Here in Norway, mobile phone use is extreme, so in city areas, the distance to the nearest base station is rarely more than 100-200 m. Whatever hits my home (power outage, flood, landslide, ...) is likely to hit the base station as well

We're running a generator, got a freezer full of food and fridge. Running that and a light, fan and chargers. The tips are in the 90s and really humid so it's very uncomfortable

My website is at the mercy of a kind soul who donates his time to my cause. What's there mostly works, so I haven't been too worried about it, but there are a couple of site bugs, and I'm waiting on him to get to fixing them. I am not complaining, to be clear. I am grateful for him. But you get what you pay for - he has real billing work to keep him occupied and I'm not going to make him push that aside for lil old me and my pet projects.
So that probably means dusting off some basic web dev skills I haven't used in 20 years, only the landscape has changed so much.
The web isn't what it was, and what it is, I don't understand. I've been happy in my little world of embedded coding, with kilobytes of RAM and I/O so slow you can see the bits travel. But it's beautiful, elegant C++ with hard types, and a smart compiler.
I don't really want to learn any of this web tech, but I guess I should, if nothing else so I can help maintain my own website.
I wasn't planning on any questions when I started writing this post, but if anyone knows of any good gatsby resources, just to get me going, I'd be happy for them.

I've started using Hugo[^]. It has it's own set of annoyances but learning curve is not too bad.
What I like most is that it builds a static site so I don't have to deal with any back-end or, God forbid, Wordpress. It's just plain HTML/CSS so chances of getting hacked are much smaller.

I'd consider it, but I'm dealing with an existing web already built out with Gatsby.
