Buster is a godsend and has probably saved me from having to abandon half the internet sites I visit.

Now if only someone could come up with similarly useful extensions that got rid of the other two forms of cancer that are ruining the internet:

1: Cookie consent dialogues*

and

2: Those modal overlays that suddenly cover up what you're reading and ask you to subscribe to some poxy newsletter or mailing list.

*not "I Don't Care About Cookies". It slowed my browser to a crawl when I installed it.

Unfortunately the developers of those particular things (often like ad developers) use obscurity of things like div names to make the task less trivial.
