## Description

SiteZap lets you permanently remove unwanted elements from any website — ads, popups, cookie banners, sidebars, sticky headers, and anything else cluttering your screen.

How It Works
1. Click the SiteZap icon in your toolbar
2. Hit "Select Element" to enter picker mode
3. Hover over any element — it highlights in real time
4. Click to remove it permanently
5. That element stays gone every time you visit the site

Features
• Point-and-click removal — no technical knowledge needed
• Persistent per-site rules — removed elements stay gone across reloads and revisits
• Manual CSS selector input — power users can target elements precisely (e.g. .ad-banner, #popup-overlay)
• Dark mode & theme override — invert any website's colors for comfortable reading
• Cross-device sync — your rules sync across devices via Firefox Sync
• Lightweight — no background network requests, no tracking, no bloat
• Works on every website — runs on all URLs with zero configuration

Perfect For
• Removing ads and promotional banners
• Hiding cookie consent popups permanently
• Cleaning up cluttered news sites
• Removing sticky headers and floating elements
• Hiding social media widgets and share buttons
• Simplifying web apps for focused work

Privacy
SiteZap stores only CSS selectors for elements you remove. No data is collected, no analytics, no network requests to external servers. Your data stays in your browser.

Permissions Explained
• storage — save your removal rules and preferences
• activeTab — access the current page to remove elements (only when you click the icon)
