Remove Anything

Remove anything (objects or selected text) from any page via the right-click menu. This is intended to be a WebExtensions alternative to "Nuke Anything Enhanced." Almost all of its features are supported, and the undo/redo system has been improved.

Remove Anything - A WebExtensions Alternative to NAE

"Remove Anything" is a Firefox add-on developed as a WebExtensions alternative to 'Nuke Anything Enhanced'. Although it is no longer maintained, it allows users to easily remove any object or selected text from any webpage, providing a solution to remove wasted screen space, full-screen overlays, popups, or even individual ads. It also includes an undo/redo system that resets with each page refresh.

THIS ADD-ON IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED; SEE BELOW:

I wrote this simple add-on as a WebExtensions alternative to "Nuke Anything Enhanced," back in late 2017 when Firefox was in the process of dropping support for other extension types. At the time, it was unclear whether NAE was going to be ported or not; however, it did get updated not long after I released this. Accordingly, I don't plan to maintain this add-on anymore, and you should really use NAE instead of this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nuke-anything-enhanced/ . (I'm not affiliated with its developers in any way.)

Original description follows:

Remove anything from any webpage!

This add-on allows you to remove any object or selected text from any page by right-clicking on it or by hitting Alt+Shift+R while hovering over it. Here are some ways this can be useful:

  • You can remove header bars that stay at the top of the screen when you scroll and waste your screen space.
  • You can remove full-screen overlays that require you to register on the website you're trying to look at*.
  • You can remove popups that appear in the corner of the screen and ask you to take a survey.
  • You can remove individual ads if you're not keen on using an ad blocker.
In case you accidentally remove something you didn't mean to, you can undo any number of object removals**. (And you can of course redo them as well.) Everything is reset when you refresh or go to a different page. See more

User reviews
good but not good enough because it removes elements such as pop-up not forever on some sites
by spiralthinker, 2025-01-08
Can't imagine using FF without this. So many sites add obtrusive overlays and annoying sliders that make the use of those sites less than enjoyable. This removes those annoyances temporarily, until the page is reloaded. Remove permanently would be awesome. But this will do.
