## Description

🧼 <strong>Clean up any website and remove unwanted page elements with Element Remover.</strong>

<strong>Element Remover is a privacy-focused browser extension that lets you hide and remove unwanted elements from web pages</strong>, including ads, cookie popups, consent banners, overlays, sidebars, promotional blocks, and other distracting content.

Select an element once and Element Remover remembers your choice. When you return to that website, your custom cleanup rules are automatically reapplied, giving you a cleaner and more focused browsing experience.

Whether you want to remove an annoying banner, hide a persistent popup, simplify a cluttered page, or create your own distraction-free version of a website, Element Remover gives you precise control over what stays on the page.

🖱 <strong>Remove webpage elements in seconds</strong>
Hold <strong>Alt</strong> — or configure another key — hover over the element you want to remove, and press <strong>Enter</strong>. No coding or developer tools required.

🧠 <strong>Automatically remember removed elements</strong>
Element Remover saves your cleanup rules and automatically reapplies them when you revisit the website.

🎯 <strong>Precise element selection</strong>
Use keyboard navigation to move through the page structure, select parent elements, and precisely choose what you want to remove.

📸 <strong>Visual removal history</strong>
Review previously removed elements with screenshot previews. Restore or delete saved rules whenever you want.

🌐 <strong>Website-specific cleanup rules</strong>
Create different customization rules for different websites. Changes made on one domain stay specific to that site.

🚫 <strong>Remove ads, cookie popups, banners, and distractions</strong>
Hide unwanted page content such as advertising sections, cookie consent dialogs, newsletter prompts, overlays, sticky banners, sidebars, and other visual clutter.

💾 <strong>Persistent local storage</strong>
Your element-removal preferences are stored locally in your browser so your customized websites remain clean between visits.

🎨 <strong>Simple, modern interface</strong>
Manage removed elements through a clean interface with visual previews, immediate feedback, and straightforward controls.

<strong>Element Remover does not collect, transmit, sell, or store your browsing data on external servers.</strong>

Your removal rules and preferences remain <strong>locally on your device</strong>. There is no account requirement, tracking, analytics, or cloud synchronization.

Firefox optional permissions are requested only when necessary to apply the website customizations you choose.

<strong>No tracking. No analytics. No data collection.</strong>
