Delete Element FAQ

Is this an ad blocker?

No. It removes elements for the current view only, one click at a time, and everything returns on reload. It is meant for cleaning up a page before a screenshot or inspection.

Does it remember what I hid?

No — every removal is for the current view only, and a reload restores the page. That is deliberate, so you never wonder whether what you are looking at is the real page.

Can I use it to check what content is essential?

Yes, and it is a genuinely useful exercise. Strip a page down and see whether it still communicates its offer; anything you did not miss is a candidate for deletion in the real design.
