How to hide anything distracting you in the browser
Works on every website · takes about 10 seconds · free
Comment sections that turn toxic. "Download our app" banners. Floating share buttons. Promo ribbons. Whatever platforms decided you must see, between you and what you're actually there to do.
Why it gets in the way
Every site has its own flavor of clutter, which is why filter lists can't keep up. Point-and-click hiding works on all of them because you decide what goes.
The 10-second fix
HideIt is a free browser extension that hides any element you point at — including widgets inside iframes that normally swallow your clicks and open instead of hiding.
- 1. Install HideIt — free for Chrome, Firefox and Safari (register below to get the link at launch).
- 2. Turn it on — click the HideIt icon on the page that's bugging you. Until you do, HideIt can't see the page at all.
- 3. Click the widget — hover Any distraction until the red outline wraps it, click, choose Every visit. Gone — and it stays gone, even if the site re-injects it.
The manual way (if you like pain)
You can open DevTools, find the element (anything — that's the point), and write a custom CSS rule in an ad-blocker. It works until the site changes its markup — HideIt's self-healing selectors handle that for you, and re-hide the element if the site sneaks it back.
Does hiding it break the site?
No — HideIt only hides what you clicked, nothing else. If you ever want it back, open the HideIt popup and un-hide it in one click, per site, per element.
