Summary
Modern browsers have largely conquered the problem of popup windows being created by obnoxious web sites. Nowadays the bad guys have moved on to what is called "slide-in" or "fly-in" advertising. There you are reading an article and some ad starts sliding in from the side to nag you to subscribe to something or other.
I had been using the venerable Remove It Permanently
(RIP) add-on for many years but it was not up to the job of removing slide-ins. This add-on is my replacement for RIP. It uses the latest Firefox add-on technology to be much more aggressive in rooting out this stuff.Note: This is the Web Extension version. See the Release Notes for the features that have been lost.

Kill It is risky to use as it requires a number of sensitive permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this add-on. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install Kill It if you trust the publisher.
Risk likelihood
Kill It has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
