How to block the mouseover pop-ups on individual Archive.org search results, in the annoying new flickering / flashing search interface…
1. Go to the top bar of your Web browser | click on the uBlock Origin extension icon | Click on its cogwheel icon.
2. In the uBlock Origin Dashboard | go to “My Filters”.
3. In the My Filters list, add the new line…
archive.org##tile-hover-pane
… and save. Reload the results page. The item ‘preview’ popup panels will have all been blocked. You can still right-click on any result tile, and launch a new tab showing the main page for that result.
The above is for a user who uses the Grid view.
The above fix at least removes one of the main annoyances of the regressive new UI.
Bless you for this. I’ve been doing some research there and trying to scroll and scan while getting harassed by hover cards was the worst. Appreciate this long-ago post!
