ElementHider: Hide content based on keywords

ElementHider is a browser extension I built to help you hide or blur any part of a web page as easily as possible. I got tired of constant distractions from ads, spoilers, and irrelevant content, so I made this to create a cleaner, more focused browsing experience. Just type in the keywords you don't want yo see and ElementHider takes care of the rest.

Features
* Hide by Keyword: This is the main feature. You can automatically hide any content that contains specific words or phrases you define. It's a powerful way to filter out spoilers or topics you aren't interested in.

* Hide Anything Else: If a keyword isn't enough, you can also use a point and click method to hide any individual element on the page, like a sidebar, an ad, or a "suggested for you" box.

* Blur Instead of Hide: If you don't want to completely remove content, blur it instead. Just hover over the blurred area to reveal it when you're ready.

* Extension is built to hide unwanted content, even on dynamic sites like social media feeds where new content loads as you scroll.

* Customizable Site-Specific Rules: For more control, you can apply rules to specific websites only. Use a safe test mode to highlight what will be hidden before it disappears. You can also adjust hiding sensitivity and set keywords to be case-insensitive or exact match.

ElementHider was designed to work on any website, including YouTube, X (Twitter), Facebook, news sites, and shopping sites.

Extension permissions are required to read the sites to detect the elements and keywords on the site but no data is collected or sent to the developer or any 3rd party. All the data (keywords, settings) are saved into your Chrome sync storage so everything stays within Chrome and your Google account.

Does not support keyboard shortcut, and loses focus when scrolled. Functionally it's pretty good but such a bad UX.

GOATED extension

Hides all of the stuff that drives me crazy about Chrome (like AI mode and document tabs)! Works smoothly and without issues (so far).
Jonah
Very useful extension that can do a good job shielding you from toxic content. The only problem is that it makes web pages slower to load when using a lot of filters. It's worse for some websites (e.g. Youtube) than others

I use this to softblock some people from an online forum, but since this last update it is not hiding the keywords I add that are usernames (starting with the @ character). I want to hide only comments by "@user" but not block the word "user" because the usernames usually are casual words that other posts may use, like @love, @champion etc.

Better! We lost uBlock Origin, and so far all the other ones I've tried let you click on elements, but it never selects the 'right' element, and they give no way to directly 'edit' what they picked. 99% of the time, I just want to hit F12, find the id or class "I" want to remove, and add that to a list of things to block. This did the trick in QBO...thanks!
Milly Parker
easy to use with immediate results -- so grateful for this extension!!

Works really well on MyAnimeList. This extension is The Best <3 Thank you so much <3

I have been using this extension for many years, and it’s really great. The only inconvenience is that it only blocks based on the title. Please consider adding a feature to check the href, alt, and text content to block as well. Thank you very much!

An actual lifesaver

Great App but Delay feature is required as Elements Reappear when page finish loading.

One of the best extension

Helps a lot when you try to read a blog or a website full of Ad content articles.
AsGood AsItGets
Although I managed to write a selector that correctly identifies the items I want to hide from a listing, using the non-standard :contains() selector, unfortunately it doesn't hide them because I assume it runs before the page is refreshed by Next/React, and as a result the extension "sees" only the initial mostly empty page. It would be nice if it could have an option for milliseconds to run after page load, maybe it would solve the issue for most modern SPA apps.

Thank you so much! I'm using it to block Taylor Swift from my serious news feeds (I'm confident I won't be able to see this review once I post it).

Great extension if you like to read the news in the morning and watch a stream of a sports event afterwards

This is the most comprehensive and functional extension. ex. removes twitter "What's Happening" with {div[aria-label="Timeline: Trending now"]} >>> twitter.com Other extensions weren't able to remove "What's Happening" without issues.

-does not detect words in all elements on the page -no examples of blocking specific elements, not everyone understands what is {.class} {#id-element}
James Wheatley
It was really good, but now it seems as though the exclusion list doesn't work fully so it runs on ALL sites rather than just the sites I specify.

It works but it should be better if it has an exclusion list.

I've been really put much faith in this extension until today but stopped working on Chrome with the latest update applied. Apparently there are no extensions like this out there which allows us to hide any element on any site by just simply setting keywords in advance. It worked perfectly in most cases, helped me a ton, and special thanks go to the developer. I hope for updates to this extension in the future.

The best extension to keep you away from annoying keywords, and you can not even feel it exists. Thank you so much, I wish I could donate to help the developer!
