Automatic way to delete elements in webpages?

Hey all,

So this is a weird idea, but maybe it's worth a shot.
When browsing with Javascript disabled, some pages will have the page "greyed out", and a warning saying something like "we detected you are using AdBlocking, you will not be able to reach the page".
Now, I noticed that many times, if you right-click, choose "Inspect" and start deleting some of those "nodes", eventually you get the page to work out nicely.

Is there any way to "store" those settings or automate them?

Also, here is the idea for those who might be interested in trying :)

Thanks!

uBlock Origin has an "Element Picker" that you can use to permanently delete things like that from a web page. See my attached screenshot.

Thanks!
I didn't know that.
Though I do use uBlock in Abrowser I don't have it in Tor Browser (not running JS already limits any ads that might appear anyway).
Meanwhile, just to leave a note to userscript users I did find some that allow doing this, though I will say uBlock is probably more efficient anyway.

Thanks Andy!
