A simplified scriptlet to remove conditional cap_html_filtering elements

[K-mikaZ]

I think some filters could be simplified to a simple function call in a scriptlet.

use:

{{domain}}##+js(remove-html-element, {{element}})

which would simplify the function:

!#if cap_html_filtering
{{domain}}##^{{element}}
!#else
{{domain}}#?#{{element}}:remove()
!#endif

example for:

numerama.com##+js(remove-html-element, #premium-subscribe-modal)

instead of:

!#if cap_html_filtering
numerama.com##^#premium-subscribe-modal
!#else
numerama.com#?##premium-subscribe-modal:remove()
!#endif

And maybe consider specific filters like:

numerama.com##^.is-distinct-mite:has(button[data-dialog-controls*="premium-subscribe"])

Only complicates, HTML filtering doesn't always work.

I see opened only #3222

Then he would completely skip the if else endif construction.

The problem with Firefox mobile should be checked once a year to see if it is up to date and has not been there for "10 years".

Also I do not see report that pop-up and button to EasyList or Dandelion repo.

HTML filtering is meant to remove DOM elements in the response body, before the browser parses the response. Cosmetic filtering is no different than scriptlet injection in that it works on the live DOM. These two filtering approaches do not do the same thing, they can't be conflated.
