Usage:
Click the bomb icon. The fuse should light. At this point, you can:
– Click elements to delete them.
– Hold shift and click text elements to make them more readable.
Hitting escape or clicking the bomb icon again defuses the extension.
You can toggle boom! with a hotkey by going to Tools -> Extensions and clicking the “Keyboard shortcuts” link at the bottom.

good
Nice. Just follow the directions and it does a good job – click the icon to light the fuse and move the mouse over the web page to find and hide various elements.
It can be a good tool for some websites.. tho most silly websites made their divs too busy that I had to bomb too many elements.. manually.
Does nothing. Gets rid of nothing. Annoying stuff is still there.
Allows you to decide exactly which elements of a page you want to be presented with – great extension.
Simple. Beautiful. Outlines the element that’s going to be removed on mouseover. Only active when you click the button to activate it. It’s just what I wanted.
Doesn’t change cluttered page I wanted to simplify, at all.
Great, but you need to add an undo Button
Doesn’t do anything.
Pretty much perfect! Thank you for writing this. Any chance you’d consider adding a context-menu option as well?
