## Description

The Remove/Crop-to Selection Chrome extension enables users to quickly modify web pages by removing or cropping to selected content. Simply highlight the desired area, right-click to either remove the selection or keep only that part, making it easy to print or save exactly what you want. 

Additionally, you can remove any clicked element, such as images or paragraphs, via the context menu, and undo changes as needed. The extension also removes third-party content like ads, videos, and plugins to declutter pages. All modifications are local and non-permanent — reloading the page restores the original content. This tool streamlines the browsing experience by letting you focus only on relevant information.
