[Feature request] Posibility to choose ignored elements #382

Hi, I just want to say I love your project and it is pleasure to use it. It really helps me when I'm under time pressure.

So my proposal is to add a feature where you could be able to select specific website elements to be ignored by read-aloud. Today's implementation is great, but unfortunately it is not universal. Some websites have obfuscated some of their elements and the standart detection therefore cannot recognise these.

It could be implemented in a similar way to this this Firefox addon: Click to Remove Element by blade.sk With a difference that instead of purely hiding/disabling these elements it could just make the element for example a different colour or something, to indicate that this element is disabled per user preference OR there could be an indicator/warning text in the reading dialog where it would say "Some elements of this website were filtered from being read." or something along these lines.

I believe that this could solve a lot of problems with special websites and could make this awesome tool even awesomer.
