Overlay Blocker Extension

\"Fantastic piece of innovation. Easy install too. Feels like a refreshing new internet now. Thanks!\"
Amber Case

\"I wander the internet a lot and these popups were bothering until a friend suggested this extension.\"
Chris Bailey

---

STOP ANNOYANCES FOREVER.

No more email newsletter popups, special offers, or interruptions while you read articles, browse websites, or shop.

For example, that \"subscribe to our newsletter\" message you see when you visit a blog. Install Overlay Blocker and they disappear forever.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Auto-magically. That's how. We detect good overlays and ignore them, while blocking bad overlays. We're always fine-tuning this balance and publish free updates.

WHAT ABOUT GOOD POPUPS?
We understand not every overlay is annoying and some contain useful information. Whitelist sites you like or Report a Site in one-click to our development team to check.

ALLOW GOOD POPUPS
Choose to allow an overlay to show once or always on any website. If an overlay is automatically blocked, you'll have a few seconds you can allow it to show or whitelist the website at any time to see all popups on that website forevermore.

NEVER SEE ANOTHER
- Email subscription form
- Free ebook offer
- Download or signup form
- Membership signup popup
- Social media sign-in popup
- Annoying in-your-face offers

PLANS & PRICING
Overlay Blocker has a free plan and an unlimited use plan. Try for free up to a limited number of blocks. Details: http://www.overlayblock.com

Ideas InProgress (ID: 000000b9679db955) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/03/2022 This is perfect piece of engineering for me. It worked well for what i was looking for. Blocking overlay so that I can read the page in piece and also gave me option in cases where I wanted to see the overlay. Deserves 5 star!

HighVoltage (ID: 000000559f1a35fb) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/03/2021 Only blocks popups for a few pages. Then it tells you to pay to keep using it. I want google to add a 0 star rating.
