    I keep going to websites that have a very annoying chyron at the top that I have to scroll down to get it out of view. I'd like to get an add-on that could do this scroll drop automatically. Any ideas?

      Not that, but I have one for Edge called 'click to remove element' that works well. There may be something similar for Firefox.

        Well, I could scroll down myself, so having to click on it would not be an improvement. Also, I already have uBlock installed.

          The one I have for Edge remembers the setting. You might be able to find a similar extension for FF.

            That seems so specific to me I doubt you've be able to find an add-on that does exactly what you're after. (I had to look up "chyron") Does that caption have a button to make it go away (like those annoying "yes, accept cookies" types of banners), or is it simply there to take up space at the top of the screen with no means to make it go away (and doesn't scroll along with the page so it always remains visible)? I'd think you'd have better luck finding an add-on that can look for something in the DOM with a specific name, and place it inside, let's say, a hidden div. It might be more involved than ideal, but if it's that annoying, might be worth the extra effort in the end. Are those public sites? Can you provide some examples we can load?

              It has a checkbox to click it away. It's a website that only gives this message out to (some) folks that have an account, so if you don't have an account, it won't be there. (geni.com)

                I was gonna ask, do you have to have an account, but given the nature of the site (now that I see it) I suppose you'd be very limited in what you can do if you didn't. Do you really spend that much time on that site that you have to proactively seek something to alter its behavior?
