Page Pruner

Click any element on a page to hide it — cookie bars, sidebars, comments. It stays hidden every time you come back.

Every page has something you'd rather not look at. A cookie banner that never quite goes away, a sidebar of recommended videos, a comment section, a sticky banner eating the bottom of your screen. Page Pruner lets you point at it and make it disappear. HOW IT WORKS 1. Click the toolbar icon and press "Pick element to hide", or just press Ctrl+Shift+X (⌘⇧X on Mac). 2. Move your mouse over the page. Whatever is under the cursor lights up. 3. Click it. It's gone. 4. Keep clicking to hide more, then press Esc when you're done. Come back to that page tomorrow, next week or next month and the things you hid are still hidden. No setup, no filter syntax, no rules to write. CHANGED YOUR MIND? Open the toolbar panel and you'll see everything you've hidden on the current page, each one described in plain language. Remove them one at a time with the × button, or press "Restore all on this page" to bring everything back at once. BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY - Smart selection. Hiding an element that leaves an empty container behind collapses the container too, so you don't get a blank gap where the thing used to be. - Per-page memory. Hiding a sidebar on one article doesn't hide things on unrelated pages. - Survives reloads and restarts. Rules are re-applied the moment a page loads. SETTINGS The gear in the toolbar panel opens a settings page laid out like the other Stitch Fix extensions', with a search box (press / to jump to it) that finds any setting. A first install opens it at Getting started, a short guide to picking, restoring and theming. - Hidden elements: everything you've hidden, on every site, grouped by page. Restore a single element or a whole page without visiting the site; open tabs update immediately, no reload needed. - Shortcut: the key combination Chrome has actually bound, with a button that takes you straight to Chrome's shortcuts page to change it. - Appearance: fourteen themes in the Stitch Fix colours, Pride first. New installs start on Pride; Forest is Page Pruner's own theme. In June, Page Pruner asks once whether you'd like to switch to Pride. - Backup & Restore: export every rule, your theme and your Pride month answer to one JSON file, and import it again on this machine or another. Imports merge with what you already have; duplicates are skipped. - Resets: reset one area at a time, or everything at once after a confirmation. - About: the version, what the extension can access, and every Stitch Fix extension. PRIVACY Nothing you do leaves your computer. There are no accounts, no servers, no analytics and no tracking of any kind. The list of things you've hidden is saved in Chrome's local storage on your own machine and is never transmitted anywhere. The extension contains no code that sends data off your device.
