Hide annoying content on thesaurus.com and dictionary.com

hide-annoying-content.md

Looks like someone has spent too much time adding annoying crap to dictionary.com and thesaurus.com.

Remove it by doing the following:

1. In Chrome install the Custom Javascript (cjs) extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/custom-javascript-for-web/poakhlngfciodnhlhhgnaaelnpjljija/related?hl=en
2. When on dictionary.com or thesaurus.com, click on the extension's icon in the top right of your browser. The icon reads: "cjs"
3. Make sure the checkbox to enable cjs for this host is enabled.
4. From the external scripts dropdown, select the newest version of jQuery.
5. Paste the code in script.js (found on this page) into the textbox hit "save", and reload the page if necessary.
6. All of that annoying shit should be gone now.

• If you don't want to use the CJS extension in Chrome, try Tampermonkey: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en

1. In Firefox, use the Greasemonkey add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/
2. I don't have step-by-step instructions for Greasemonkey, but it should be similar to cjs or Tampermonkey.
