Hides elements that contain keywords set by user
***
UPDATE 0.2.22(25 July 2022)
* You can now specify site specific keywords by adding ">>> site.com" after the keyword. Site can be full url or just part of the url. Example available in the keyword examples found on the popup window.
* New option "Child element ratio" will let you control how precise the hiding will be. Smaller % value = more precise hiding, e.g. hide only the header and not the whole article. Larger value = more likely to hide also the parent elements of the keyword element, e.g. instead of only hiding the header it will also hide the image, subtitles etc. of the article.

This extension is an easy and efficient way to hide web elements and ads based on the text they contain.
It can hide twitter posts, news articles, facebook posts, twitch comments etc. if they contain a keyword set by you. You can also blur out the elements instead of hiding them. Blurred elements can be revealed with mouse hover.
By default keywords are case-sensitive but you can also set them case-insensitive and decide if the word should appear exactly as you've written it (e.g. CAT but not eduCATion).
Extension has a testing mode which highlights the elements with green borders instead of hiding them. Testing mode helps you see the elements that are going to be hidden on the page with the current set of keywords.
Although, this extension has been found to be working with a very high success rate, it is not fully guaranteed that it will hide every single element on every website with a keyword on it. This is mainly because every site is built differently and have different structure of elements. Feel free to leave feedback if you encounter any problems with the extension.
