Element Picker on Android #33241

Any progress on this? |
@rebron @ShivanKaul
The picker UI now has 2 states: when you're selecting an element (semi-transparent) and when you've selected one (visible). The simplest fix is to make UI invisible in the first mode. The screencast how it works now: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7292f411-820f-4575-96b2-120b39f96f41 |
@Krishna-art-dev by modifying the source code and building the binary. There is no way to enable it for end users until we prepare and merge the changes in the code. |
@atuchin-m thanks for the information, please add this feature in brave |
@atuchin-m @ShivanKaul makes sense, but only if this feature is behind a flag and disabled by default. It does not seem like something that the average Brave user will want on the (already cluttered) main menu. cc @rebron |
We definitely don't want a feature that we plan to always keep disabled by default. I don't have a good sense for how cluttered the menu currently is on Android but do we not have space for a new item (albeit one that's mainly for more power users)? |
@atuchin-m how hard would it be to change the UI for this? What if we restrict this to hiding just one element at a time and not showing the picker UI? I'm thinking the following experience:

@timchilds If you believe that the average Brave user doesn't want it then there is no sense in spending time to implement and to support such "optional" features. |
It will work, but the main issue that you can't tune the selector to add. There is no way to block a one particular element, it's alway about using a selector. Cutting ability to tune is a major limitation for the feature. Another thing that we need to improve is the adblock settings for Android to manage the added rules. Otherwise, it's just no way to delete them. Optionally, we can also make the pref syncable. That way the rules you added on your desktop device will be used on a mobile. |
@ShivanKaul on a web page, the main menu currently has 17 items. Not sure we want to increase that further with a power user feature.
We could make it a user setting? Disabled by default. cc @chrismore |
What if you guys add that feature in brave shield? |
Here is an example branch to activate content picker for android: @ShivanKaul The plan the way I see it:
Also, we already have a submenu in settings to manage the custom rules. |
Element Picker brave/brave-browser#33241 --------- Signed-off-by: Vadym Struts <[email protected]>
@vadimstruts Can a preview button for the block, like uBlock Origin has, be added? In your brave/brave-core#26725 (comment) video, there is only a block element button and you cannot see the effect before committing to it. |
