PopUpOFF - Popup and overlay blocker
Extension Actions
- Extension status: Featured
Removes and prevents popups, overlays and cookie notifications, other tools do not. Enjoy the original look of the internet.
Hey! Have you seen the terrific rating above? You must be wondering: “Is it finally a good popup blocker? Should I try it?” Do read the text below to find out if that's something you'd like to give a try.
So, answering your questions: “No and Yes” - it isn’t some “good” popup blocker. PopUpOFF is brilliant: https://github.com/RomanistHere/PopUpOFF/issues/16 - and you should definitely try it if you are as annoyed with popups, cookie notifications, overlays and other sticky things that overlay content as I do.
Why?
- PopUpOFF doesn’t just block some popups that other developers paid for, but YOU are in control of it. You decide not to have any single overlay on the screen or casually remove only the most annoying things (hi cookie notifications and subscription popups).
- You can unlock and read PAID content FOR FREE on some websites (see the video above).
- Size of this extension is 100 times less than any other average popup blocker in the store. Size doesn’t matter? Well… I wouldn't be so sure about that.
- PopUpOFF is a non-commercial and open-source project. It means no ads, no tracking, everything it has is available for you for free and forever. I am RomanistHere and I’m giving you this piece of better web.
Drawbacks?
- It still is in development, so there could be bugs or imperfect solutions, I’m working on it solo and there are other things in the world to do. So be gentle, I created it for myself back then, but now I’m doing it for you.
- PopUpOFF is as addictive as it gets. After you start using it, there would be no way back. You were warned :)
Sounds interesting? Go get it. Write “hello” to me, share the feedback. Check what else I’m doing. There are probably other pieces of better web. Be cool, be gentle, help me make the world better. Not saying goodbye. Have a better life now :)

- Absolutely perfect addon! I am now able to see many sleazy disrespectful tech sites and review sites that try to force people to disable or turn-off privacy settings or browser security. Examples of such sites are howtogeek.com and gamerant.com though there are MANY more. I suggest using the "Moderate" setting in the addon for most sites.

- Ferran
- Funciona realmente bien, además se trata de un proyecto Open Source, muy fácil de usar y con muchísimo futuro.

- This add-on totally fixes the problems with web browsing today! It occasionally breaks sites, but not too often; and when it does, you can disable it for only specific sites. Usually the sites it breaks are not ones pushing ads and popups in your face either, such as your online banking and account sites, so this works. This is the modern version of the popup blocker since browsers long ago blocked sites using pop-over windows and pop-under windows. It really works! As an added bonus, it usually blocks cookie dialogs too, which clutter the web and make it ridiculous to use.

- The extension is brilliant, but a bit of feedback, the settings change by themselves from website to website. Add in a menu so we can keep the aggressive setting permanent at all times. Otherwise I highly recommend. You can even read paid articles i can't fault it, just make sure you change the setting to aggressive on all websites.

- Installed in agressive mode to remove overlays but it does not remove overlays. Simple as that!

- I love Edge :)
- Álvaro
- Great Job! It would be nice to enable Hard Mode by default. Thank you.
- Thallysson
- Ótimo! Obrigado! Resolveu meus problemas, tanto no New Microsoft Edge e no Google Chrome. Os dois navegadores que uso e essa extensão, super feliz.
- Zdeněk
- Seems fine so far, it does block overlays. However, I strongly recommend to put in an option in which you can have one mode active at all times. Clicking different modes on each site even though you could have one possibility active throughout whole web is extremely annoying

- This extension is so good, that I downloaded Edge just to review it. Thank you!
