### Crypto Annoyances (Optional Step) 🚀

This filter list blocks cryptocurrency-related annoyances and unwanted content by removing URL tracking parameters (like `utm_`) and cookie banners, hiding promoted social media posts, eliminating TradingView popups / notifications / telemetry, stripping compliance banners from exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, etc.) and cleaning up crypto sites (CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap) by removing ads, banners and promotional feeds-resulting in a streamlined browsing experience free of distractions and tracking.
This optional filter list removes cryptocurrency-related annoyances and unwanted content to create a cleaner, less distracting browsing experience. It focuses on **UI-level cleanup and tracking reduction**, without breaking core site functionality.
