User reviews

Users appreciate DOM Destroyer for its effectiveness and speed in removing elements compared to the inspector, and generally find it useful. However, multiple users mention the inability to properly disable the extension once activated, causing elements to continue being removed unintentionally. Additionally, some find that clicking elements triggers navigation to websites, which is inconvenient. A better toggle mechanism for turning it on and off is suggested for improved usability.

Pros

Helps remove elements effectively from web pages.
Faster than using the inspector.
Works without problems as intended.
Simple and useful at times.

Cons

Cannot properly turn off once activated; elements keep getting removed even after pressing 'esc'.
Clicking to destroy icons sometimes opens the website, which is annoying.
No clear toggle or button behavior to start and stop the extension easily.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

DOM Destroyer does not require any sensitive permissions.
