## Review summary

RemoveElement is valued for fast, per-site element removal via the context menu and for handling one-off annoyances like cookie prompts. It’s convenient and fast, but faces issues with inconsistent effectiveness on some pages, especially Japanese sites, and challenges with undoing or editing blocklists and persistence across reloads. Transparency concerns about Firefox source code and occasional reliability problems are also noted. Overall, it’s helpful but not uniformly reliable across all sites.

### Pros

- Quickly hides unwanted elements with just a few clicks, especially via the right-click context menu.
- Helpful for removing banners and cookie prompts and for one-off site tweaks without touching global ad blockers; changes can be revealed again by reloading.
- Fast and convenient for per-site cleanup without needing to use developer tools or additional extensions.

### Cons

- Inconsistent effectiveness on some sites (notably certain Japanese pages).
- Difficulty undoing or editing the blocklist; risk of losing rules if you uninstall or misblock items.
- Unclear persistence across reloads or pre-loading behavior; blocks may not be permanent across page reloads.
- Transparency concerns when Firefox source code isn’t readily available (Chrome version cited by users).
- Some users report that the extension stops working occasionally.
