It is a solid option, but could use a little work. I notice that sometimes on pages that I have previously removed elements, that the first time I come back after a while the remove elements will be there again, but if I refresh the page they are gone as expected. Small bug and not difficult to get around.

Fantastic extension! Snip & Remove Web Elements has improved my online experience tremendously. I can finally enjoy articles without being bombarded by ads and unnecessary links. Simple to use and highly effective—definitely worth trying out!
