## Description

Activate the element selection mode with a single click on the toolbar icon or by using a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+X).

Once activated, your cursor turns into a crosshair. As you move it across the page, elements are highlighted with a blue overlay, showing you exactly what you're about to remove.

The highlighting is designed to mimic the familiar look and feel of your browser's developer tools inspector.

A simple click on the highlighted element is all it takes to make it disappear.
