I tried this extension because I was hoping that muting a keyword would mute/hide the entire post for me and not just the muted word, because originally I downloaded it to try to use on Twitter. It's fine for hiding words but I'd like it more if it'd hide entire posts that have the keywords completely. I can't get rid of seeing certain posts in the search despite the words itself in the post being hidden, and I'd rather not see them at all. Blacklists work for the home timeline in Twitter already, but I need it for the search too.

edit: okay so I did what was suggested and I didn't know it could do that so this was SO helpful. Thank you so much!

EDIT: Keeping original review for posterity and so dev response makes sense, but updating from 3 to 5 stars because my gosh, they actually fixed it, and not very long after I'd posted the review. Beautiful dev, truly


It's great at what it does, but... even if I turn hiding off and tell it only to work on one specific website and set filter words to one specific website... 3 different layers of "this should not touch this other website I don't want touched", this extension being on breaks ebay, utterly and completely. You can't sign in, you can't add to cart once you are signed in, lot of functionality breaking. I tried all kinds of settings tweaks, the only way to get the website working was to fully disable the extension while I was using it.

First, to answer Bill Baldwin's review, the place to add keywords is by clicking on the jigsaw icon for Extensions, then clicking on ElementHider or pinning it and then clicking on it.

Have found this extension to work like a charm and is perfect, if one is so inclined, to hide promotions of certain AI features and to hide certain AI-related elements (like overviews and summaries) one cannot opt out of.

やりたかったことが完璧にできました。拡張機能をクリックしてキーワードを入力し、拡張機能の設定から適用するURLを入力することで機能しました。テストモードにすると消す要素が緑枠で表示されるので問題なければテストモードのチェックを外してページを更新(F5)してください。

There is nowhere to enter keywords to hide elements. I select Options or Manage and it takes me to the same thing that has Details, Options, Permissions. None of these has a place to enter keywords. Element Hider does not appear in my toolbar or right-click menu. I cannot find any way to use it.

I'm sick of seeing Trump and Musk in new articles. I added their names to this extension. Now my screen contains no depressing Trump/Musk articles when reading news websites. It works perfectly!

Does a perferct job in hiding elements where sometimes uBlock fails. Thank you!
