## Review summary

Users praise the add-on as an easy, effective tool for removing distracting page elements and call it indispensable. The main recurring drawback is that removals are temporary and reappear after reload; reviewers repeatedly request per-site saving/locking and undo/restore features to make changes persistent.

### Pros

- Effectively hides or removes HTML elements while active.
- Simple, quick and intuitive click-to-select interface for selecting elements.
- Many users find it indispensable and very useful for removing distracting content.
- Reported to work well alongside other tools (e.g., uBlock Origin, SingleFile).

### Cons

- Removals are temporary — elements reappear after page reloads or when revisiting the site.
- No built-in per-site saving/locking of removals or easy undo/restore; users ask for persistent rules or a way to revert changes.
