Sh (ID: 000000f7ed2ab860) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/24/2024 Missing an option to export and import JSON data Edit: Although it doesn't work as bulk export of all site, thank you anyway for adding single export and imports!

Jump with the Devil (ID: 0000008e0d088fb9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/28/2024 You have to check the box to remember which elements you removed. Weirdly, that setting isn't on by default. However, as great as this extension usually is, it seems as of late that it keeps randomly erasing all of my saved settings, and unchecking the "remember elements" box, as if it's reset to factory settings. This would be okay, since there is an option to download/export a backup .json file of all your saved settings, which you can always then re-upload/import into the extension. However, while the import feature worked in the past, now I'm having trouble where it doesn't accept the imported file. The current tab, on any page, gives me the same error every time I attempt in vain to import my previously exported .json file. I hope this gets fixed. It's getting quite tiresome to re-customize all my most visited webpages every few days when the extension decides to randomly reset everything.

benos bumblebee (ID: 000000e6158402c2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/14/2023 Perfect than a regular ad blocker. Please add a way to expand or collapse removed elements names cause when it get too long, there is no way to see the remember boxes and thoses red croxes to remove the removed element from the Json

Paloma M.B. (ID: 000000cbfa3b547d) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 09/08/2023 If the element you want to remove is at the right down corner, you can't remove it, because the extension has its pane there and you can't move it. It doesn't work for all elements. Especially on youtube. You can't remove the videos linked at the end of the video.
