This extension can hide or remove selected elements on a page. Useful for removing invasive adverts, banners and overlays.

The primary feature of this extension allows users to hide any element on the page with a simple right-click menu action.

Advanced features on the Options page also allows the user to automatically close invasive popup windows, as well as automatically hide selected elements when the page is loading.

Several other customizable settings are also available on the Options page.

NOTE:
- The primary right-click functionality of this extension does not permanently hide the element. Any page refresh will bring back the full page as intended. To automatically hide elements when loading a page please try the ‘Automatic Hiding’ feature on the Options page.
- Once the extension is added to Chrome, any pages you already have open will need to be refreshed for the extension to start working.
- The icon menu for chrome extensions should display to the right of the address bar (a puzzle piece).

Amazing one-of-a-kind extension, would be even nicer if/when the "Automatic Hiding" feature becomes more user friendly

Dao Seeker, I’ve got your back man!!

This is a great extension people!

First of all, I've actually read what this extension is supposed to do, and it does EXACTLY what I was hoping it would do. Its function is to disable annoying AF elements on pages TEMPORARILY, but allow the restoration of that functionality when needed. The reason I was looking for an extension like this was to block the seemingly ever present hover / dropdown menus that populate the top of so many web pages today. When navigating and you hover over them for a microsecond, you get a drop down list that blocks your view, stays present for way to long, and makes navigation a real chore. This behavior drives me absolutely crazy.

Having said that, I have plenty of extensions that can block this behavior PERMANENTLY, but that in itself creates a real headache if you need to access these annoying web elements eventually. So what this extension does is lets you view the page, block the trash, do your thing, and then re-enable any needed navigation elements with a simple F5 refresh if needed.

Brilliant! Thank you very much! This extension is now in my “mandatory install” list. Thank you and please keeps up the good work!!

P.S. For those of you who would (and should) give it a try, I suggest: “Single click – Remove” under Right Click Menu Action. That seems to work the best and makes the most sense for me. Enjoy!
