Should be pretty doable, even if you don't have much JS knowledge yet. You might want to look into TamperMonkey for this, it's a sort of framework for making custom browser plugins!

TamperMonkey is closed source. I'd recommend ViolentMonkey instead, since it's open source and is practically identical to the other *Monkey extensions.
~~edit: To add, the developer of TamperMonkey has also shown themselves to be not worthy of trust; see Wikipedia under Controversy.~~
Did you actually read the "controversy" section?
A malicious adware media player - not related to Tampermonkey - installed Tampermonkey on your device to do bad stuff. And they could have done the same with any other userscript extension, like the suggested Violentmonkey. The wiki section even states:
This does not mean that Tampermonkey is malicious, but rather that a malicious program is utilizing a legitimate program for bad behavior
It's fine to advocate and promote open source software, but why do that with lies and slander?
I skimmed through the section and simply assumed the worst, sorry about that. Still, it is closed source, so you just have to trust them, bro, and that's more often than not the wrong approach.
edit: Skimming a bit more, there actually seem to be some valid concerns around privacy, since TamperMonkey seems to have used (still uses?) google analytics, which is enabled by default, so take that as you will; see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26057106
I second tampermonkey. I believe the lemmytools user script available in greasyfork does this already though.
Lemmytools is what I was hoping to find. Thank you! Installed and working great. I'll never have to see another Trump post again.
You should be able to do that with a ublock origin filter.
Maybe ask on the community: !ublockorigin@lemmy.ml
