The closest thing it can do is hide specially marked elements, but there's no way to hide based on text content, or to hide just part of a text node, because CSS selectors cannot select that.

For example, to hide hashtags on Facebook, try one of these filters:

Code: Select all

facebook.com##a._58cn
facebook.com##a[href*="/hashtag/"]
To hide Twitter-style hashtags, this should have few false positives: ##.twitter-hashtag
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.
