This is great, it is like the element zapper in uBlock Origin, but much easier to access, and with a nicely working undo!

Unfairly, there are a few bad reviews from people who want something different, an automatic or permanent element blocker, rather than a one time element picker. There are other good extensions for that, such as uBlock Origin.

    While this add-on is only temporary (if you refresh the page, it goes back to it's previous state) it is VERY helpful. I use it to block annoying sidebars on forums. Thank you!

    Perfect for hiding the tiktok chat to watch content fullscreen on a vertical display

    and ofc other things

    Works like a charm! Thank you, author!

    It would be a nice touch though if the link to plugin's homepage[^1] as displayed at plugin's Mozilla page worked. It's broken currently at March 23 2022.

    It is OK but, not permanent.

    Would be nice to have the option to keep the element blocked every time I visit the page, and to turn it off too

    Works fine, however when I'm editing something online and need to highlight a section using ctrl + shift, then the area turns purple and it worries me if I then press the mouse button twice by accident. It would be good to assign the keys to ctrl + s (or any other letter that works). Other then this, it works.

    Génial. Marvelous ! Juste ce qu'il faut pour gagner de la place dans une page web. Pour remettre à zéro sans tout annuler un par un il faut actualiser la page ...

    It works, but the functionality is not enough. Need to add hiding rules or, at least, the ability to save settings for sites

    Exactly what I've looked for! Thanks David!
    On my FF 61.0.1 the crtl+shift highlighting overlays its color, i.e. the element colorization remains after mouseout. After ctrl+shift+dblclick the underlying element is highlighted and remains like this.

    Control+shift+double-click will pop-up menu, can you customize the key combination?

    At least on my part, what I most often want to remove from the page are aggressive ads. Unfortunately, this addon does not work on anything that is a link, as performing ctrl-shift-click just clicks the link and opens it in another tab...

    Hi Dekel Tal,

    I have released an update that will stop ctrl-shift-click from opening a new tab on links.

    Thanks for the feedback,
    David
