Overlay Remover Auto: Ultimate Firefox Add-On for Overlay Removal
Add-on stats
Ranking
Add-on summary
Based on Behind The Overlay extension by Nicolae Namolovan.
This extension automatically removes detected overlays on enabled websites. Can be easily configured for specific website (by clicking the the extension button).
Can run in blacklist mode (run only on enabled websites) or in whitelist mode (run on all websites expect those you disable). Defaults to blacklist mode, can be changed in extension Options (right click icon, Manage Extension, Options tab).
Some websites display delayed overlays - set timed run for these websites. On some websites the timed run can remove more than just the overlay - in this case set the "Stop timer if overlay found" to stop after first overlay is removed.
Note on algorithm for detection: it is still default from Nicolae Namolovan - it looks for overlays in the center of the screen, so it might not detect some of the cookie notifications displayed on the bottom of the screen. I might improve that in the future.
Requires permissions: Tabs (for synchronizing website options on all already open tabs), Access your data for all websites (for automatic running of ora_content.js on all websites - but only runs on enabled ones), storage (for storing of settings)
