At WWDC 2019 Apple released some videos directly online, with no corresponding live session. This is a list of those videos with links to the video pages.

Some sessions were presented during WWDC but then split into multiple videos when posted online. This list includes the online versions, since they don't appear in the WWDC schedule. For example WWDC included session 711, "Introducing Combine and Advances in Foundation". This was split into two online videos-- 722, "Introducing Combine", and 723, "Advances in Foundation". Both 722 and 723 are included here.

2. Open Web Inspector
3. Copy-paste this script to load all advertisers: smt=setInterval(() => {let x=document.querySelector('div[shade=medium]'); x ? x.click() : clearInterval(smt), console.log('done')}, 1000)
4. It will output a number. Wait for it to say “done” in the console. This may take a long time. you'll notice the scrollbar changing while it's loading all advertisers.
5. Copy-paste this and press enter: document.querySelectorAll('[data-tooltip-content="Hide all ads from this advertiser"]').forEach(el => el.click()). Note Facebook has changed the text on the button a few times, so if this has no effect, you may need to edit the command. Hover over the "x" icon on any advertiser until a pop-up tooltip appears. Make the double-quoted text in this c
