## Description

Page Element Cleaner allows you to interactively remove unwanted elements from websites, helping you create a cleaner and more focused browsing experience.

To begin removing elements:
<ul><li>Activate the extension from the toolbar.</li><li>Select any element on the page that you wish to hide.</li><li>Deactivate the tool when you are finished.</li></ul>
Removed elements can be saved automatically and managed later. Through the side panel, you can review hidden items and restore them individually or reset the page by restoring everything at once.

The extension also includes a settings page where you can:
<ul><li>Manage saved removal rules</li><li>Export hidden element data for use in another browser</li><li>Import previously saved configurations</li><li>Switch to legacy mode (disables saving and behaves as a temporary eraser)</li></ul>
Keyboard shortcuts:
<ul><li>Ctrl + Shift + X / Command + Shift + X — Toggle erase mode</li><li>Ctrl + Shift + L / Command + Shift + L — Open side panel</li></ul>
Page Element Cleaner is designed for users who want greater control over webpage appearance without complex configuration. It works locally in your browser and focuses on simplicity and usability.
