Hide Elements

About

Hide Elements Chrome Extension is a fast and easy tool that helps you clean up cluttered webpages and take full control of what you see in Chrome. Instead of dealing with popups, banners, or sticky elements every time you visit a site, this tool lets you hide them once and keep your pages clean.

This Chrome extension allows you to hide and unhide HTML elements directly on any webpage. Simply:

- activate the extension,
- hover over an element,
- and click to hide it instantly.

No coding, no CSS rules, and no developer tools are needed — everything works visually inside Chrome.

All hide elements changes are saved automatically. When you refresh the page or revisit the website later in Chrome browser, the same elements stay hidden until you choose to disable or restore them.

This makes the extension ideal for hiding ads, popups, sticky headers, chat widgets, cookie notices, and other distracting HTML blocks.

Your privacy matters. Hide Elements Chrome Extension works entirely in your browser.
