I'm not sure if it's exactly the same, but uBlock Origin's element picker (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Element-picker) looks like it might do something similar?

That's brilliant! I replaced YARIP and AdBlockPlus with uBlock Origin. No more Yahoo backgrounds!! No longer sad!!

Thank you very much, RE
