User reviews

Users find the Remove Element extension effective for deleting distracting page elements and appreciate its simplicity and utility alongside ad-blockers. However, multiple reviews indicate it does not save changes after reloading pages, sometimes fails on specific websites, and lacks features such as undo and a graphical interface for selecting elements. Enhancements like element selection GUI, the ability to remember removals, and undo would improve user experience.
