Add-on summary

Removes the annoying floating / sticky banners that take up screen space as you scroll down a page.

You know when you're on a web page and there are floating banners across the top and maybe even bottom of the window that stay there as you scroll? Tons of sites, especially news sites, have these useless banners.

Those things are so annoying! They take up a bunch of the screen and make it hard or sometimes impossible to read an article! Gah! Why would sites add these?!

This extension adds a button you can click to get rid of those floating banners.

== How to use this extension ==

Click the extension icon and then click the "Remove banners" button. Floating / sticky / fixed banners on the site you're browsing will be moved to the top and bottom of the page and no longer stay on the screen when you scroll.

The page layout may be a little weird after you click the button. If it's too messed up, just refresh the page and please send me an email with the URL of the site and how it broke.

Once your refresh the page or visit the site again you'll have to click the button again. Let me know in an email if you don't want to click every time and want your preferences saved.

I have to give this thing 5 stars just for existing. Prior to this many websites were just plain unusable on my laptop. It doesn't seem to delete the banners (which sometimes have needed info) it simply pegs them to the top or the bottom where they are out of the way. Brilliant! I would vote for it being more aggressive, maybe one button click to turn on, or even stay on all the time, unless I click to have it off.
