Hide Web Elements Pro is a complete page‑level instrument panel. It gives you surgical control over what appears on any page, how it behaves, and what data you can extract. With a floating dock that stays out of the way, you can hide, edit, reveal, extract, skip, freeze and clean – all from a single unified interface.
🧰 Core controls
- 🎯 Hide – point at any element, choose Page‑Only, Site‑Wide or Global persistence.
- ✏️ Edit – directly rewrite text, form values, or replace images/video/audio while preserving site styling.
- 👁️ Reveal – instantly bring back hidden, blurred or overlay‑blocked content.
- 🌐 Scope – cycle between Site / Page / Global for every rule you create.
🛡️ Advanced automation
- Anti‑Paywall / Anti‑Adblock – three levels (Weak, Normal, Extreme) that automatically remove blocking overlays and restore scroll.
- Auto‑Close Modals + Logins – dismiss cookie banners, subscription gates, and login popups.
- Smart Time Skipper – detects countdown timers and “skip ad” buttons, then acts on them automatically.
- Scroll Lock Defeater – releases page‑level overflow locks without breaking site layout.
- Blur Removal – strips CSS blur and backdrop‑blur from hidden elements.
🍪 Cookie Workspace
- Inspect, edit, create and delete cookies for the current domain.
- Export / import entire cookie sets as JSON.
- Works with the modern Cookie Store API and falls back to
document.cookie.
❄️ Navigation Freeze
- Ask Every Time / Block All / Allow Same Domain Only / Allow All
- Intercepts anchor clicks, form submits,
window.open, location.assign and history navigation. - Allows domain‑based allow‑/block‑lists with wildcard support.
⌁ Rules management
- All hiding and editing rules are stored locally and survive page reloads.
- Edit any saved rule inline from the Control Panel.
- Wildcard conversion for class/ID selectors (
[class*="…"] / [id*="…"]) works automatically.
✏️ Permanent Edits
- Edit text, form values, or replace media (image/video/audio) with permanent rules.
- Edits can be saved as Global, Site or Page rules.
- Media replacements can be stored in IndexedDB – works even after page reload.
🔗 Link & Media Lab
- Extracts all links, images, video/audio sources from the page – including shadow DOM and iframes.
- Preview media directly in a floating overlay.
- Download media using
GM_download (with fallback fetch + save). - Media Grid mode and full‑text/URL search.
⏩ Quick Actions
- +30s skip – advance video/audio, zero detected timers, and click “skip” buttons.
- Reveal hidden content – unblur, unhide, and remove overlay position locks in one pass.
- Manual +30s works on every media element and timer control on the page.
Why this stands out
- All UI runs inside a shadow root – completely isolated from page styles and scripts.
- Touch‑aware – works on mobile and desktop with precise tap/drag handling.
- Low‑power idle heartbeat – re‑creates UI if it’s accidentally removed, with no performance cost.
- Same‑domain & cross‑frame sync – state is broadcasted between frames.
- Export / Import – backup all settings, rules, logs, domains and toggles to a single JSON file.
User Interface & philosophy
- The floating dock collapses to a small icon and can be dragged anywhere.
- Every dock button can be hidden from the Control Panel if you prefer a minimal dock.
- The Control Panel uses a sidebar with clear tabs: Tools, Rules, Edits, Freeze, Logs, Backup, Cookies and About.
- All toggles are instantly persisted – no need to click “Save”.
Getting started
- After installation, the dock appears on the right side of every page.
- Click the ⚙️ Control button to open the full panel and explore each tab.
- Use 🎯 Hide or ✏️ Edit directly from the dock – point and click.
- Customise the dock visibility from the Tools tab.
- All data stays on your device – no cloud storage, no external tracking.
This script was built for users who want a single, reliable tool that handles hiding, editing, overlay removal, media extraction, cookie management and navigation control – all inside a modern, responsive UI.
Note: GM_download is used for media downloads. The script automatically falls back to fetch + save when the Greasemonkey API is not available.
