Description from extension meta

Hides elements that contain keywords set by user

Image from store ElementHider

Description from store **Jun18, 2023 update includes "Performance mode" which is enabled by default and should speed up the hiding of the elements. This extension is meant to be an easy and efficient way to hide web elements and ads based on the text they contain. It hides for example twitter posts, news articles, facebook posts, twitch comments etc. if they contain a keyword set by you. You can also blur them out instead of hiding them completely. Blurred elements can be revealed with mouse hover. Donate button is given on the popup and on clicking it redirects to paypal.com *KEYWORD OPTIONS* By default keywords are case-sensitive but you can also set them case-insensitive and decide if the word should appear exactly as you've written it (e.g. CAT but not eduCATion). Examples of the keyword options can be found on the popup screen of the extension. *TESTING MODE* The extension has a testing mode which highlights the elements with green borders instead of hiding them. Testing mode makes it easy to see what is going to be hidden with the current keywords. *ELEMENT HIDING PRECISION OPTIONS* Precision of hiding can be adjusted from the options. It will affect how many parent elements will be hidden (for example if only the title of the article or complete article should be hidden). *SITE SETTINGS* Keywords can be set as site specific by adding ">>> url.com" after the keyword ("keyword >>> youtube.com") and in the options you can set the global site settings if you want to enable or disable ElemenHider on specific sites completely. *NOTES* Although, this extension has been found to be working with a very high success rate, it is not fully guaranteed that it will hide every single element on every website with a keyword on it. This is mainly because every site is built differently and have different structure which makes it hard to identify all of them 100% correctly. Feel free to leave feedback if you encounter any problems with the extension.

Latest reviews

(2023-09-30) 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.
(2023-07-02) Tuấn Hải Phùng: it completely blocked "suggested for you" on facebook, very useful
(2023-06-25) Nick Maag: Removes articles and headlines that make my head spin. Actually maxed out to the limit.
(2023-05-25) Tommaso Girotto: simple and effective
(2023-02-08) 高台: I encountered a problem. It shows ‘Maximum character amount exceeded! Keywords cannot be saved while character limit is not met. (7614 / 7602)’
(2023-01-18) Tro:lmaso: Great for blocking spoilers on YouTube! Thanks!
(2023-01-02) Nikolai Kotsev: Making my online newspaper much more pleasant to read
(2022-12-18) Jonah: Very powerful addon, just what I was looking for
(2022-10-05) Laurence gr: It works but it should be better if it has an exclusion list.
(2022-08-29) t e: 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.
(2022-08-12) User_E8ipxVdAGL: SIMPLE BEST
(2022-08-11) Namish Baranwal: THANKS A LOT
(2022-08-03) Noor Aldeen: Thank you for this wonderful extension. He's the best in his property. And thank you again for the updates you are working on at this time
(2022-07-27) Zhiyang Li: 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!
(2022-07-25) James Rush: This doesnt work anymore. Latest update July 25 broke it.
(2022-05-09) Marc Poppe: I love you. I'm finally relieved of all the sports news on my favorite news website. Thanks you so much! One thing I'd love was to be able to have different filters per site but that's just a small request, I'm very happy!
(2022-04-08) Trân Hồ Phước (Mr Trân): It's very good for filter comment by keyword on Facebook. Thanks
(2022-03-15) Eoin: have no idea how to use it. How exactly do i hide elements? all it seems to do is highlight a green box around the images
(2022-02-09) m plz: Really useful, don't hesitate....add it to your chrome
(2021-11-24) Or Schiro: Allows me to hide some annoying elements on Gmail that uBlock cannot pick properly!
(2021-11-17) David Barnes: Works just as described! Thank you! Would the programmer consider adding a password feature for editing the keyword list?
(2021-10-24) Casual: This could be better if it had not shown the text for the first few frames.
(2021-10-14) Verne T.: Very useful for hiding content based on keywords and for being able to specify if the keywords should be case-sensitive and the entire entry or part of an entry, but limited to a max number of keywords despite not advertising that limitation, just like the extension Black List Pro in that sense. Still very handy, but I wish it had more utility. I'd even take a paid version if that's what it took to get unlimited keyword filtering! (I will note: this extension does stack with Black List Pro, so you can install both of these and have about double the keyword filtering power than just one or the other. I want to keep searching and see if there are any extensions that legitimately allow you to filter out unlimited keywords, but for now stacking these two is workable.)
(2021-10-09) billy Mr: Google 搜索下只能屏蔽标题，不能屏蔽缩略内容，这还比不上 Greask 脚本。
(2021-08-23) Zachary Zhang: Very　Good
(2021-07-21) WM AB: Not working anymore. Needs a huge update.
(2021-03-21) Mateusz Mielczarek: What a relief!
(2021-01-25) TuSkoFskY: Works for me! Nicely hides unwanted people from fb-messenger's list!
(2021-01-19) yarin Z: 太爱了，神器
(2020-12-20) Brendan Silva: Very useful. But, please include an option to disable the hiding animation! The element slides down until it disappears. Can this extension simply hide it without this animation?
(2020-12-04) Casey li: 太牛了，！！！！
(2020-09-20) Martin Mucha: very nice! If it work faster and with option to disable animation not to even see for a moment elements to be blocked, it would be the best!
(2020-09-09) marisa lovise: I am addicted to watching tarot reading on YouTube, I hidden some basic keywords (eg. tarot, Tarot, TAROT, sagittarius, Sagittarius, SAGITTARIUS, etc) and I works great!!!! I wish something similar that works with YouTube Android app!
(2020-07-27) Corey Ashford: This is a great adjunct to an ad blocker, because many sites now detect the use of an ad blocker and require that you disable it. This mechanism makes the site "think" you have loaded the page fully, but hides the elements' visibility so that you don't have to look at them at all.
(2020-03-22) D B: A great extension for the 21st century, when you need to filter the news yourself. I use it in Feedly. Unfortunately, in the Brave browser (Version 1.4.96 Chromium: 80.0.3987.132) only worked for a while (maybe it will be fix it). It works fine in Chrome (Version 80.0.3987.132), but when I have the option of automatically markting read news, the extension marks not yet read. Anyway App recommendable.
(2020-01-20) Dovner Cheap88: Great!Good!well!支持
(2019-05-02) Gersivan Oliveira: Excelente pra se prevenir contra spoilers de filmes e séries.
(2019-01-06) Max P: on news.google.com sometimes fails to filter by keywords
(2018-04-10) heek: Works on youtube. Awesome. But one thing that I hope this extension refines: it would be good if hiding elements on pages is less noticeable. When unwanted elements exist on a page, a hiding motion noticeably takes place. Hopefully I'd like it to make all target elements invisible before the page is loaded.
(2018-01-27) 中山英: 文字列だけでなく、文字列の含まれる要素を丸ごと隠してくれます。見たくない単語などを見なくて済み、防御力が非常に高いです。但し、キーワードリストを開くとサスペンスな文字が並んでいてヒエーッとなります汗汗 googleやbing、yahooの検索結果からtwitter、知恵袋、2ちゃんねる、の投稿まで、ほとんどあらゆるサイトで効果を発揮してくれます。 ■Options■ ・隠す代わりに要素をぼかす・URLに次の文字列を含むWebサイトでは無効にする（複数指定可）・URLに次の文字列を含むWebサイトでのみ有効にする（複数指定可）
(2017-12-12) Melissa Angelique Ross: THE BEST!
(2017-08-28) Great simple tool. Very helpful if you are annoyed by an element on a page you visit often.
(2017-07-17) Matt Taylor: Finally, an extension that can be used permanently hide elements on a page. Use {.id} or {#class} to select the elements you want to remove.

(2024-02-28, v:0.2.53) JV N: On/Off
Hello, On chrome it turns off after every time I close my browser and then click it open again. I would like the element hider to stay on after each session and be there at the start of a new session. It was doing this on firefox, so I think it would be able to do it on chrome and I am wondering what is wrong. Thanks.
(2023-09-16, v:0.2.53) Ian: Conditional filters
Hi, Is there any way to have multiple conditions matched for the target element to be hidden? Taking this page as an example: https://p2pindependentforum.com/posts/recent - could it be possible to hide any {TD.unblocked} elements which had a child element of {A.thread-link} that contained a keyword of eg: ABC I've tried just using a keyword and then adjusting the child element ratio options but can't quite get the desired results. Let me know if you need further information. Thank you.
(2023-09-01, v:0.2.53) Caleb: Password Protection
Is there a way to put password protection on this?
(2023-06-25, v:0.2.53) Nick Maag: Reached Max Character limit
Can you remove the limit.
(2023-05-16, v:0.2.51) Nick Maag: ios safari app?
I would love it if you had or if anyone had this app or one like it for ios to block key words etc like I have been using on google chrome on my computers. I tried to find anything and could not for ios.
(2022-11-19, v:0.2.51) Kevin Kiejko: Blocking parent elements
It would be great if you could specify an element to block, and include N amount of parent elements. There are sales websites that include dealer listings, but they look just like the normal ads, except for one or two elements that indicate it is a dealer (for example, Kijiji mixes is in dealer ads but they have a div class="dealer-logo" included in the ad) and it would be awesome if you could block say, 4 parent elements up (including all other child elements). Just a possible feature?
(2022-08-18, v:0.2.46) Kenzier Lemmons: Including CSS Selector Breaks All Other Keywords
Once I input a CSS selector keyword, all regular keywords no longer work.
(2022-08-01, v:0.2.24) Lolita Lover: Unable to hide site elements by word
Hi, i'm unable to hide any element from any site with words that i had included. Example: i put 'bad^', it was supposed to find and hide any page element with words like Bad, bad, badass and so on, but, this isn't the case anymore. When possible, update this your extension, so, i'm able to use it again.
(2022-05-09, v:0.2.21) Marc Poppe: Thanks!
I love you. I'm finally relieved of all the sports news on my favorite news website. Thanks you so much! One thing I'd love was to be able to have different filters per site but that's just a small request, I'm very happy!
(2022-03-19, v:0.2.21) Tony Wright: hide parent div/pan
Is it possible to add the option to hide the parent div/span of a nested span with the keyword in it? I am trying to filter divs on a site and they only have the keyword in the title text not in the body span. Both of these spans are in a parent span. Thanks
(2021-06-18, v:0.2.21) Anna Chan: Option to have a custom keyword list for specific sites?
Hello, I wanted to ask if it would be possible for this addon to save your list of keywords so that it is specific to a specific site or domain? So that the keywords for www.site1.com are different from www.site2.com. Also an extension to the maximum number of keywords?
(2021-02-24, v:0.2.21) Reza Nassiri: Payment
Hi. I love this thing. I like to make a small payment since I praise it every time I see an empty space that could have been from a Kardashian clan? Do you have PayPal? Thanks, regardless!
(2020-12-20, v:0.2.18) Brendan Silva: How to disable the sliding animation?
I want to thank you for making this extension! Thank you very much! This is very useful. But, please include an option to disable the hiding animation! The element slides down until it disappears. Can this extension simply hide it without this animation? Bye!
(2020-06-04, v:0.2.18) Brett Frazier: Hello
First I want to thank you for making this program it is awesome in everway especially being able to blur. Its been a while since I used it and I have found out that it doesn't work anymore on any of the sites, is there anything you can do? You are the only one who has the blure feature, Thanks.
(2020-01-21, v:0.2.18) Dovner Cheap88: some keyword is two
eg. ABC ABC we suggest that can auto to only ABC
