Remove the tree branch

[YourFriendlyError]

When free time is active, the tree branch should be removed. It is a bit of an annoyance.

Have the same problem. Is there a way to remove it?

You can add the CSS rules pointer-events: none; and opacity: 25%; to #owl_countdown_box. The first rule ensures that you can click stuff beneath the tree branch, and the second rule makes it semi-transparent so that you can see what's underneath.

You can make these changes temporarily by using 'inspect element'. You can make them permanently by cloning the repository, making changes to css/block_styles.css or contentscript_owl.js, and loading the modified extension using these instructions.

I consider this a hack, since it's not limited to free time and will disable the 'save for later' feature.

@sharmaeklavya2 , thanks for the reply! Can you provide some more instructions on how to make these changes temporarily? I've never hacked anything like that and wasn't sure where to add the rules you provided?

The 'Developer tools' in browsers help you alter a page temporarily (i.e., the changes go away when you close the tab or reload the page). You can open them by right-clicking the tree branch and picking 'Inspect element'. If you haven't done this before, you should check out https://zapier.com/blog/inspect-element-tutorial/.

Oh I see, I thought it would be at least per browser session. Doing this for every tab would be quite annoying ;) I guess the permanent solution would be better fit than.
