Altering FFN and AO3 with uBlock Origin

quihiI installed uBlock Origin on Firefox primarily as an adblocker, but it also allows you to block websites, block particular content on websites, and alter the CSS on a website.
FFN Text Highlighting
On fanfiction.net, I used this to allow highlighting text on fics by adding this line to my filters:
fanfiction.net###storytextp:style(user-select: auto !important)
This overrides the CSS which sets user-select to none.
AO3 Rating Filter
On Archive of Our Own, I used it to permanently block explicit fics from showing up when browsing, on any page that shows blurbs of fics: fandom listings, tag listings, user pages, bookmarks, search results:
archiveofourown.org##.rating-explicit.rating:xpath(../../../../..)
This identifies the little box indicating the rating, and blocks the container that it's in, five steps out. It's a bit confusing when the number of fics you see on the page is less than the number that AO3 claims it is, but it's easy enough to turn off the extension for a moment.
