readme.md

Since no one else is doing it, I'll try, but I'm not an expert with adblock rules.

! Works, but slows down browser as it loads each hidden article.  Better to block the loading code itself.

There seems to be a simpler way:

@gasull That disables all AJAX, though.

Thanks for this. Looks like Disqus is also involved but have no idea on creating the right rule. Example

Few more offenders: scrolling1 - scrolling2

Thanks so much for this. I'm using umatrix myself as my ad-blocker, so I just removed xhr permissions from sites that used infinite scrolling. So far that works well but it's a case by case block.

Sorry I don't maintain this. I should make it into a proper repo so people can submit PRs?

A long time ago I created a repo for infinite scrolling. I update it infrequently.

I don't need AJAX on a news website. Once the article has loaded there's no reason for the page to make any new request. It's a waste of my bandwidth.

Yeah I only need a tenth of the AJAX calls being done on a site:) Loading a video about a related article, getting a full list of the top articles now, no thanks. It all click bait to increase the sites search engine rankings

Unfortunately, I don't use uBlock. I use umatrix. It is a good list to spot the targets though.
