I’m not sure if this is a good place to ask this, but I couldnt find any active uBlock Origin -communities here. Please delete if this is inappropriate to ask.

This blog has an annoying dark mode toggle, that keeps following the page as you scroll. I have tried to block it by uBlock Origins picker tool, but it only allows selecting the little flame image, creating a filter:

“acoup.blog##.darkmode-toggle”

Yet there remains a partly transparent, unselectable round artifact after this, that keeps following the page like the toggle.

I know I can disable javascript on the page to make it go away, but its tedious to do it every time.

Any tips how to block that annoying little toggle?

    Open the picker and select the thing.

    Then if you see an overlay that covers it it will be removed. But there is a list of elements in that area, look to make the filter as unspecific-specific as possible (“interactive annoying button” instead of “button-xd12440292-image1232.png”) and as large as possible without removing stuff.

    If you removed too much, go to settings and custom filters, delete the line and try again

      It simply wont allow to select the thing and it does not appear at the list, at all.

      Yet it does leave this transparent artifact behind.

            I thank you, but your solution does not work, which you would know if you read the post.

              True, interesting.

              I use “dark background and light text” where this doesnt appear
