User reviews

Snip - Remove Web Elements is praised for effectively removing unwanted web page elements, improving user focus and browsing enjoyment with an easy-to-use interface. Users appreciate its quick toggling of removals and superior performance compared to similar tools. Common issues include lack of persistent removal settings across domains, limited global element removal, compatibility problems with some browsers and websites, and occasional bugs requiring page refresh. Despite these limitations, it remains a valuable extension for decluttering web content and enhancing online reading and browsing experiences.

Pros

Simple and user-friendly interface makes it easy to use.
Allows quick toggling on/off of removed elements without deleting them, providing flexibility.
Works better than similar extensions, with reliable element removal on demand.
Improves reading comfort by decluttering pages and hiding distractions.

Cons

Does not remember or save removal selections across pages or domain visits, requiring re-removal each time.
Some functionality issues on certain browsers like Brave and some websites, where buttons do not work.
Inability to remove elements universally across all pages of a domain; removal is page-specific, causing inconvenience.
Occasional bugs such as removed elements reappearing until page refresh.
Compatibility issues causing problems with certain platforms like Google Docs or Microsoft PowerApps.

Not functioning on Brave.

Nicht nur auf bestimmten Seiten. Es wäre wichtig, auf welchen Seiten nicht gesnipped werden darf, bzw. Werbung entfernt wird. Die Suche auf einer Webseite wird als Werbung "wegesnipped". Schade. Deutsche Übersetzung geht übers Ziel hinaus. Bitte auch die Sprache einstellbar/optional.
