- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Axolotl, 5 jierren lynFunnily enough I'm making a site theme and nothing I do can detect this one element but this add-on can.
It's great because my theme now completely works, less great because this add-on hides all the rules it's given: I can't take whatever it's found and implement it myself. This situation has happened multiple times and it's beginning to get a little grating.
I know the author has said they're planning on adding these but that was originally stated 2 years ago. Unfortunately until those features are here I can only give it a(n albeit very strong) 4 stars.
Edit: Like the developer says the feature to see each blocked element and select them individually is now implemented! I have no other complaints, this is the best add-on I've found of its type. An easy 5 stars. Thank you for updating it <3Antwurd ûntwikkeler
5 jierren lyn pleatstHey, thanks for the fair review. I still want to add this feature! I've been busy with work and other projects, but I will get to it.... eventually 😅
EDIT: I just added this feature! You can now see a list of blocked elements, with their specific rules/CSS selectors. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Testo, 5 jierren lynDOESN'T WORK WITH FACEBOOK while other element-blocking addons are working fine with it, please fix.
Also please make a keyboard shortcut to pause blocking, currently there is only a shortcut to block an element (Ctrl+Alt+B).
EDIT: Turns out it's working fine with Facebook but only when you use the Ctrl+Alt+B shortcut to initiate it NOT when you click the addon's icon from the top bar.
EDIT #2: Pause blocking doesn't work with Facebook as well, meaning that when I click it then refresh the page my items remains hidden and then you have to click "Unblock All" which effects all websites.
Overall there seems to be some troubles with facebook.com, please investigate them.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
5 jierren lyn pleatstHey, thanks for the feedback. My recommendation to you is to stop using Facebook :) They're a terrible company and I won't use them, even to test my add-ons. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Саша Черных, 5 jierren lyn
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch cmustudentx0001, 5 jierren lynWorks well so far. Thanks for creating this add-on.
edit: I know I'm a little demanding, but here is a small problem I encountered. Sometimes it's not easy or impossible to block a certain element; for example, when the area you have to click on is located at a scroll bar.
Anyway, still works very well in 99% of cases. I highly recommend installing it. Thanks again. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch The Computer Geek, 5 jierren lynVery useful for taking out annoying links on YouTube that I'll never click on.
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Ernest Ine, 5 jierren lynGreat extension.
I have hypersensitivity and sometimes it's hard for me to view websites with blinking items, auto-start videos or changing banners. Thanks to 'ElementBlocker' I can make it less aggressive. For example I can check my bank account in peace. ;-)

5 jierren lyn pleatstErnest, thank you for the kind review. I'm very happy to hear this extension makes the web a more pleasant experience for you :) - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch KaosHeart, 6 jierren lynBasically the same feedback as everyone else.
Would love to have a list of elements blocked.
Having a console to manually type in or paste elements would be greatly appreciated.
Love it otherwiseAntwurd ûntwikkeler
5 jierren lyn pleatstHey, thanks for the feedback. I do plan to add these features at some point!
EDIT: I just added a list showing all blocked elements and the ability to remove specific items/rules. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Mofiac, 6 jierren lyn
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Ailothaen, 6 jierren lynHello,
Very nice extension, but is it possible to list all the blocks for a domain? So we would be able to remove only one or edit the rule, a bit like in things like ublock when you can write a element pathAntwurd ûntwikkeler
6 jierren lyn pleatstHello Ailothaen, thanks for the review! This is definitely a feature I plan to add at some point when I have a little free time.
EDIT: I just added a feature to show all blocked elements/CSS selector rules. I also added the ability to delete any specific rule. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Rogério, 6 jierren lynCongrats man! It does work, it's domain wise, and persists across sessions!

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch monotaskr, 6 jierren lynI've used it 5 minutes and already a significant lifestyle improvement! I used it to kill Eva on aliexpress!! That nightmare almost had me headed for anger management classes, and I'm as calm as a buddhist monk, for example, in 15 years of marriage never raised my voice to yell at my wife, and had at least the average amount of reasons to do so, but for some reason this AI bot just lit the fire of rage and then ginned it up! [taking that deep pranayama breath......] My sincere thanks to you Luke, I truly appreciate it! Sometimes a simple idea can be both elegant and powerful. This is the epitome of both.

6 jierren lyn pleatstI genuinely enjoyed reading your words twice over and I'm glad my work is helping prevent psychotic breaks. Thanks very much for the kind review :) - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 16163682, 6 jierren lyn
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Fire.Fox, 6 jierren lyn
- Wurdearring: 2 fan 5troch Red, 6 jierren lynThis is a handy blocker, but it could definitely benefit from a console to paste in elements from a page that aren't as easily clicked on.
Antwurd ûntwikkeler
6 jierren lyn pleatstNoted! Thanks for the feedback.
EDIT (22 August 2022): I just fixed an issue where some elements couldn't be clicked because clicking them would activate the link/button/etc. instead of blocking it. - Wurdearring: 2 fan 5troch azu, 6 jierren lynPretty useless - can block an element, but only one one page, not a domain - effectively making an ENORMOUS amount of busy work for the user due to sheer developer oversight.
Antwurd ûntwikkeler
6 jierren lyn pleatstNOTE: INACCURATE COMPLAINT
Hello - blocking an element definitely does work for the whole domain, not just one page as you've said. There is no developer oversight in this regard.
The website you're trying to block elements on probably randomly generates new IDs/class names on every page (some websites REALLY try to prevent ad blocking), making blocking much more difficult. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Ján Koštial, 6 jierren lynThis is working quite fine, but on complex web pages (like Aliexpress) sometimes it is blocking other elements than I selected.
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch t_wheeler, 6 jierren lynI grabbed this plugin specifically to block Reddit's highly annoying constant reminder to add my email address, but expect to be using it more. I use uMatrix (which I highly recommend) for blocking unwanted content, and this seems like it will be a good addition to let me block specific elements.
Two feature requests I'd like to see: (1) support viewing and manually updating blocked elements; and (2) support finding an element(s) via an Xpath expression.
Thanks for making this!Antwurd ûntwikkeler
6 jierren lyn pleatstThanks for the detailed feedback! I'm glad it's been helpful :) And thanks for the feature requests – I'll definitely be adding the ability to see a list of blocked elements and the ability to edit/remove one at a time.
EDIT: I just added a feature to show all blocked elements/CSS selector rules. I also added the ability to delete any specific rule. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 15920759, 6 jierren lynThis works pretty well, especially for annoying things like the recommended channels in twitch which twitch will not allow you to remove through normal means*. Is there any chance we can have a more aggressive advanced function that searches the dom for a particular class name, attribute, or id and add it to a loop that has a user settable loop duration which can outright delete a node and all it's children?

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch zemmy, 6 jierren lynIt works now after the re-upload tnx a lot, great Addon one of a kind, the only 2 things that would make it better would be a special undo button in case you make a mistake and don't want to redo the whole site just that 1 recent and a list that displays every site that you used it on.
Antwurd ûntwikkeler
6 jierren lyn pleatstNice! I’m glad the re-upload worked. Thanks for the additional suggestions! An “undo” button is becoming a popular request, so maybe I’ll tackle that next.
EDIT: I just added a feature to show all blocked elements that also lets you remove any specific items, which makes fixing mistakes much easier. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch qwords, 6 jierren lyn
