@dpreacher Thanks for sharing. I just tried but I couldn't get this to work... Using Firefox 60 on Ubuntu. Am I doing something wrong? :/

@peter @dpreacher It seems that a space after the special character is needed to trigger the filter (at least on my setup, same as yours).

@Pabo @peter thanks for the tip. I am surprised this old toot is getting some attention again. Refresher course on firefox productivity :D

@peter looks like a space needs to follow the operator.
