Summary

Get rid of annoying things on the internet. Hold SHIFT to continue zapping, or press ESC (or right-click) to quit zapper mode.

You can also use Alt+Z to activate zapper mode (or configure an alternate shortcut key in the extension settings).

NOTE: elements removal is temporary, reloading the page will get them back, but... I'm working on a "remember removed" feature, and much more ;D Stay tuned!

v0.2.x is out: Now works even better and on sites with iframes.
