  • Clicking that link finds tons of apps. Whether any are good, I don’t know. But I do know that those apps exist, which is what you asked. It could be that there are no good apps. I don’t know even in principle what such an app could do that was useful.

    By contrast, I’ve heard lots of good things about Khan Academy videos. You might try a few of those instead of an app. Ideally, work with a human tutor as well. I’ve tutored calculus, everyone has their own stumbling blocks, and it’s best to work with someone who can see where you’re hitting trouble and help you get through it.















  • Nah, the Firefox thing just seems to have one or two rules, like remove utm_whatever=something parameters. If you expand that to 10 or 20 rules, some of which are site specific like cleaning ALL the parameters from ebay links and doing some similar rewriting with Amazon links, removing gclid and fclid from everything, retrieving the content of a few of the more common link shorteners and cleaning -that- up, etc., you can get a much less trashy experience with maybe 1 page of code. Adblock already does some of that with its site filtering. You don’t get everything, but a little bit goes a long way.
