function hideActive() {
  const labels = ['Active now', 'Aktywni teraz', 'Jetzt aktiv', 'Active maintenant',
    'Attivi ora', 'Activos ahora', 'Сейчас активны', '现在活跃'];
  labels.forEach(function (l) {
    const h = document.querySelector('[aria-label="' + l + '"]');
    if (h) { h.style.display = 'none'; }
  });
  document.querySelectorAll('[role="complementary"] [aria-label*="ctive" i]').forEach(function (el) {
    el.style.display = 'none';
  });
}
hideActive();
new MutationObserver(hideActive).observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
