Vanishing Wand lets you remove annoying webpage elements by simply clicking on them. Just click the wand icon in the top left and then click the element you want to delete, and it will disappear from the page. To delete multiple elements, hold down the shift key and click on all the elements you want to remove.

Alexey Adamitsky (ID: 0000006135928bca) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/01/2018 Works fine so far. Just installed and tested. It was what I was looking for. Easy to use tool to temporary remove elements from pages. The visual guides are really helpful. There is one issue though. Using SHIFT to select multiple objects is a nice idea but practically not very user friendly. If you need to scroll down the page you need to release SHIFT and activate the tool again. The second issue is when you're actually selecting a page text when deleting multiple objects. Mildly annoying. I would prefer if there was an on/off option for the plugin. While it's pressed on the tool bar you can keep removing the elements and to stop you have to press it again to deactivate. You can make it an option for people to chose which behavior they would prefer in the settings.
