I saw significant difference using the Lite version, enough that I switched to Firefox with Origin instead. I expected it to be good enough and was surprised to see the difference.


Same. I use the element picker tool all the time to rid the web of crap I don't care about. Example:

   whatever_class:has-text(/YouTube Shorts/)

On Android you can even do this on your phone in Firefox. The UI is a bit tricky on such a small device, but it's so worth it. I went so far as to uninstall Chrome (well, disable it) on my Android.


Does "Click to Remove Element" not work for you?

For whatever reason, the UBOL creator chose not to include zapper/picker in order to make it as "lite" as possible. It wasn't a Manifest v3 thing, as they've explained.

I have no problem with using a separate extension for zapping.


I was not aware of this extension, thanks for pointing it out.
