This is where the element-zapper mode is useful: you can quickly get rid of the nuisance visual element without having to pollute your filter set for this one single visit.

However oftentimes we would rather not go through the process of creating one or more filters for just that one visit. Sometimes we visit a page on a site for which we do not intend to become a regular visitor, and many sites nowadays will throw nuisance visual elements preventing you from accessing the content. This can be the case for web resources that you won't visit again for instance, or for testing functionality before you add a permanent rule to uBlock Origin's set of rules. Element Zapper mode remains active when you do this, so that you can remove multiple elements on a web page without having to activate the mode each time.Įlement Zapper mode has been designed for situations where rule creation does not make sense. You can hold down the Shift-key before you click on elements to remove them, or may hover over elements and hit the Del-key instead.
