Different person here, would love info on removing headers, if you would be so kind!
You should be able to right click the banner and then click "block element"
Huh, I’ve never thought to do that for like a YouTube header. Just those irritating autoplaying videos on web sites that scroll with ya.
I was thinking there was a way to automatically block all banners there hahaha
Oh did it only work on one channel? There's probably a way to do it that will work on all channels. When I tried the other day too I found that the banner was removed but the space it took up remained so it didn't really help. But I noticed it gives you the option to edit some CSS/HTML so maybe doing that can make it work.
These are the uBlock rules used to block the headers from youtube channels. The 'about' tab is intentionally left unfiltered for the cases I actually want to see that information.

edit: had to put the code on pastebin since the code markdown doesn't seem to work here.
That’s awesome, thank you!
Quick edit: I also like to have the about tab. I do ko-fi or patreon for people that make really awesome stuff hahaha
