permanent change via inspect element, ways to make browsers remember my appearance preference?


Have you seen the smiley jobs guy at the right of the LinkedIn website?

I want him go away!

(https://static-exp1.licdn.com/scds/common/u/images/promo/ads/li_evergreen_jobs_ad_300x250_v1.jpg)

so, I open inspect element on it, add display: none; to its CSS, and there, he's gone...

But when I change pages or refresh it, he comes back, he is very persistent in finding a job for me.

Now, how can I make my browser to remember my appearance preference??

The same goes for the advertisement banners as well,

How can you teach your browser to not show elements again when you made them disappear by inspect element?

    I haven't.

    Use tampermonkey if you are using chrome or similar software to automate the process of setting display: none on a DOM element. Or more conveniently use some ad-blockers available online.
