Manipulate a web browser to hide a certain HTML element in a certain website by a single action

+2
−2

Before I publish a new webpage in my website (in the content management system itself), I zoom in from say 100% zooming to 500% zooming and then re-read it, as a nice way to check for typos.

The problem is that a very certain initiated popup (a JavaScript popup appearing pretty much when the webpage starts) appears and in high zooming levels covers about 40% of the text so that each time I have to go to the browser's developer tools, inspect that popup element and set display: none to it.

I can automatically hide the popup with a user script, running from a user script manager on all webpages of my domain but I need a more focal approach such as some keyboard shortcut to set that element to display: none.

How would you do that?

I use Windows 10 but would prefer an approach different than AutoHotkey

Something to consider...

Just something you might want to consider: If, as a developer, you're annoyed by the popup, consider whether visitors/users might also be annoyed by it, especially if (as would seem to be the case based on your problem statement) there is no easy way to dismiss it.
