I use an addon called "nuke anything" that lets you right click and remove pretty much anything (only until the page is reloaded). It's a lifesaver when you browse with JS disabled since that can cause pages to display poorly (menus spewed all over the screen for example) but it comes in handy a lot for sticky elements. I have seen a few sites that manage to prevent certain things from being selected though. It's nice to have yet another tool to fall back on if I need it.
- axiolite 4y agouBlock Origin includes an "element picker" which allows blocking elements (permanently), this almost eliminates the need for Nuke Anything.
- autoexec 4y agoYeah, I put that to work a lot too, but nuke anything is great for sites you're probably not going to visit more than once since it doesn't clutter up your filter list just to get something out of your way (I'll even remove images or menus if they're distracting me from content while reading). If I do add a random one off website to uBO it's usually because they did something really obnoxious and I was like "Never again!"
- hoppyhoppy2 4y agouBlock Origin's Element Zapper (as opposed to the Element Picker) will zap any element without creating a persistent filter. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Element-zapper https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Element-zapper
- autoexec 4y agonice! The visual feedback while making a selection is a big plus
- anonymousab 4y agoIt also supports a keyboard shortcut to enter the zapper picker mode, but depending on your browser you may need to enable shortcuts for the extension.
