Cookie Remover - A Chomium web browser extension

This plugin is designed to perform various actions on a webpage, with its primary feature being the ability to “hide” the persistent cookie banners and pop-ups that frequently appear on websites—without actually accepting them! This allows you to enjoy an uninterrupted and tracking-free browsing experience.

Cookie Remover Home Page

You can repurpose this tool for other uses, such as hiding or removing specific elements from a webpage, or adding and removing CSS classes from specific elements.

For ease of selection, you can choose elements by their ID, CSS class, or using querySelector. The plugin also includes a visual element selector that lets you pick elements by clicking on them, making it even easier to use.

Warnings

Your browser may notify you that this extension has access to website data. This is automatically generated because the plugin intelligently analyzes the HTML source code to hide notification banners. It does not monitor or store your browsing history or personal information.
