I once did something like this with the blank-image overlays on Twitter and Flickr; then I learned to block them with custom filters; however, if what you need to do doesn't amount to blocking a Web request or removing an entire element (which has a similar effect to setting
display:none!important), then it's either what you posted or automating via a UserScript.
It's about as inconvenient as unpacking an off-store Chrome extension just to be able to install it (in Beta or Stable versions of Chrome for Windows), but sometimes it's what you need to do.
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.
