'[class*="sponsor"]','[class*="banner"]','[style*="position: fixed"]',
'[style*="position: sticky"]','aside','[class*="sidebar"]'];
let removed = 0;
selectors.forEach(s => {
document.querySelectorAll(s).forEach(el => {
el.remove();
removed++;
});
});
alert(`Nuclear option: Removed ${removed} elements!`);
})();Remove Only Popups & Overlays

javascript:(function(){
const selectors = ['[class*="modal"]','[class*="popup"]','[class*="overlay"]',
'div[style*="position: fixed"]','div[style*="z-index: 9"]',
'[class*="newsletter"]','[class*="subscribe"]'];
selectors.forEach(s => {
document.querySelectorAll(s).forEach(el => el.remove());
});
document.body.style.overflow = 'auto';
alert('Popups removed!');
})();Pro Tips

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this as good as a real ad blocker?
No, bookmarklets can't block ads before they load like extensions can. This removes ads after the page loads, so you'll still use bandwidth. It's best for occasional use or computers where you can't install extensions.
Will this work on YouTube or streaming sites?
Limited effectiveness on video platforms. Video ads are usually embedded differently. This works best on text-based sites with display ads.
Can websites detect I'm using this?
Yes, sites can detect removed elements. Some may show anti-adblock messages. This is less detectable than extensions but not invisible.
