Click on a website element to remove it. If you're happy with the result, press the Escape key or press the trash can again, so it becomes gray.

You might use it for developing or to remove extremely annoying flickering ads that can't be removed with ad blockers or on pages that permit the use of ad blockers. If you deleted too much, please refresh the page.
