Sticky Header Remover

WHAT IT DOES

Sticky Header Remover automatically detects and removes sticky or fixed-position headers, floating navigation bars, and persistent top banners that follow you as you scroll. The tool scans the page for elements with fixed or sticky positioning near the top of the viewport and removes them from the page. When a header is removed, the tool optionally adds a spacer to preserve the page layout and prevent content from jumping up. You can manually remove or restore headers at any time, whitelist specific sites to exclude them from automatic removal, and adjust the detection delay. The extension shows the number of removed headers and displays a notification when headers are removed.

WHERE IT RUNS

The extension runs entirely within your browser's local environment using the BotGentz framework. All header detection, DOM analysis, and removal operations occur on your machine without any network requests. No page content, browsing data, or user activity is ever transmitted, uploaded, or stored externally. The tool works on any website and respects the browser's security boundaries, operating within the isolated extension sandbox.

HOW TO USE

Click the extension toolbar icon to open the Sticky Header Remover panel. The extension works automatically—when enabled, it detects and removes sticky headers on page load. Use the "Remove All Headers" button to manually remove any visible sticky headers on the current page. Use "Restore All" to bring back removed headers. Use "Toggle Removal" to switch between removing and restoring headers. Toggle "Enable extension" to turn the tool on or off. Toggle "Auto remove on page load" to control whether headers are removed automatically. Toggle "Show notifications" to receive a flash message when headers are removed. Toggle "Preserve page position" to add a spacer that prevents content from jumping when a header is removed. Add domains to the whitelist to prevent automatic removal on specific sites. Adjust the "Remove Delay" setting to control how long the tool waits after page load before attempting to remove headers. The panel shows the current status and the number of removed headers.

THE HEADER DETECTION ENGINE — WHY IT WORKS

Most sticky header removers use fixed selectors that miss many types of sticky elements. This tool uses a multi-layered detection strategy: it scans for common header-related selectors (header, nav, .navbar, .sticky, .fixed-top, etc.), then checks each candidate element's computed CSS position property (fixed or sticky). The tool also verifies that the element is near the top of the viewport (top ≤ 10px) and has a reasonable height (20-200px) to filter out unrelated fixed elements like sidebars or chat widgets. When a header is removed, the optional spacer feature inserts a div with the same height as the removed header, preserving the page layout. This approach balances accuracy with speed, catching a wide range of sticky header implementations while minimizing false positives.

THE PANEL

The Sticky Header Remover panel is fully draggable by its title bar and remembers its position on screen per website. It snaps to the edges of your browser window for clean alignment. Collapse the panel to a compact icon strip using the minimize button, restoring it with a single click. Resize the panel by dragging any edge or corner; the controls and options adjust proportionally. Press the Escape key to close the panel instantly. The panel maintains independent state for each browser tab, allowing you to control header removal in multiple tabs simultaneously.

PLEASE NOTE

This extension requires the free BotGentz extension framework to be installed and enabled. The tool removes sticky headers visually but does not interact with the underlying scripts—it simply hides the element from view. Some websites may rely on the header for navigation; restoring headers is always possible. Whitelist sites where you want to keep the header for functional reasons. All header data is processed locally and is never transmitted, logged, or shared. The extension requests no network permissions and functions entirely offline. The source code is fully auditable and available for review.
