2024-11-13 Avigor A major missed overlay is that stupid google vignette... might not be malicious but is very annoying.
2023-09-12 JoaCHIP Great idea, but it needs a bit more work. Some websites don't work with this plugin, so there should be a black-list of sites where to disable this plugin. Also, some websites disable scrollbars while overlays are shown (bild.de), so I think the add-on should re-enable those again.

2023-02-09 Stormrao Finally! I had an overlay that refused to die, and while ublock could get *parts* of it, it would never do it without either leaving part of it or not allowing me to scroll after it was gone. This, once set up, has killed it. It shows up for about 3 seconds while the page loads, then vanishes.

2022-08-24 Firefox user 15160409 Works perfectly on sites you want to block. You need to add the site first so it won't help for sites you visti the first time but for the ones you use regulary it will avoid those annoying redirects to another ad site.
2022-07-19 jayareil I appreciate the devs' work on this, because pop-ups are a scourge on the Web. Unfortunately, this add-on prevents too many legitimate sites from loading when run in whitelist mode, and in blacklist mode you don't know to blacklist the site until the popup has already interrupted you. I don't know if this is a solvable problem given how pop-ups work now.
