Hide Element

Temporarily hide a selected banner or overlay before later steps run. Reloading restores the page; hiding does not accept or reject cookies.

Use Hide Element to take a picked node off the current page so later steps can run without it covering the tab. The runner sets display: none on the match. A later Refresh Page or navigation restores the node.

This is not an ad blocker and not a cookie-consent product. It only hides the selector you pick, on this document, until the page is replaced.

How to add it

Add Step → Hide Element. Pick element to hide writes the selector. Test hide uses the same path.

Hiding changes presentation only. Use Click Element to operate a page control, or Wait / Delay Until to wait for a banner before hiding it. Press Key can send Escape to a page that handles that key.

Screenshot a page without a cookie banner chains Hide Element with Take a Screenshot. The side panel tour lists every Add Step item, including this one.

Wait / Delay
