TapTap
Delete annoying elements in a Safari webpage with a double tap
Description
I'm tired of annoying things covering what I want to read in Safari. I've had a version of this in Firefox forever and I really missed it in my iPad.
The idea is really simple: Run the shortcut and, from that moment, you can make disappear almost anything.
- The first tap marks an element to be deleted
- A second tap in a marked element deletes it
- Remove the mark with a two-finger tap or marking another element
- A two-finger tap when nothing is marked disables the script
- The script does not work with the contents of an iframe
It's been said that a picture is worth a thousand words...
How about a video then?
P.S. I love the Run JavaScript on Web Page action :-)
P.P.S. Thanks to Rafael Roa for the (much improved) name of the shortcut :-D

If you use Firefox you may be interested in the userscript that inspired this shortcut: Click to delete (it requires the Greasemonkey extension)
Consider the JavaScript in the shortcut and the original script under the MIT license.
