I'm writing some scripts to eliminate annoying elements from websites, by

Today, with Greasemonkey: no. There is 100% agreement that running
scripts earlier would be nice, and there has been some recent promising
work in that direction.
Even if it were done though, javascript still would not be able to
accomplish this. In order to find the elements by ID, they must be
first loaded. The closest you can come is:

IMO it's not worth the effort. Or, if it's always literally an ID (or
via an other reliable CSS selector), you can simply rely on user styles
to force them to never show, with no need for a script at all.
