How do I make a Tampermonkey script that removes content?

[Cronos]

Say I wanted to remove the post icons column every time I loaded FP rather than deleting the node in inspect element each time, or I wanted to remove some headers or footers like toolbars and copyright text from my favourite sites, albeit this will increase page load time. It sounds easy, but how would I go about it? Is there a better way than a Tampermonkey script?

I tried looking at other scripts that remove stuff but I just don't get it.

i assume you just do some javascript to remove the node, like document.getElementsByClass() or ById then remove it or change its css to display: none (probably better/safer)

You would probably find it easier to do something like what you gave as an example through Stylish or another alternative addon that affect's a site's CSS. For example the post icons could be removed simply by putting this code into Stylish:

.threadicon { display:none; }

If you wanted to remove that column as well as the header and footer like in your example you could do this:

.threadicon, .footer, #header { display:none; }
