"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

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!

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.

Their very OWN web site at https://overlayblock.com/ contains overlays!! Which is not only showing they have problems with ethics and principles, but this extension then dutifully blocks them, repeatedly, consuming your 10 free goes in a matter of seconds. It might work, but they are too greedy for me to bother to invest time in working out if it will work for me. Should be 200 free blocks. Update: Clicking "Upgrade" takes you directly to a Paypal payment request on paypal.com which is against Paypal rules. Reported. Scam.

Works every time! Yes you may see a flicker but it beats having to close those annoying grey out screens.

Only blocks 10 popups then kills you with advertising spam. Worse than the pop ups that it's blocking.

Don't install! This is only a demo version! It stops working after it blocked 10 overlays and requires you to buy the premium version in order to keep using it.

Borderline Fraudulent. Doesn't tell you about costing $19.99 after 10 blocks in the beginning. Those 10 blocks will only allow you to visit 3 or 4 websites so you don't have any real chance to know if it works well or not before it shuts down and ask for the $19.99. Why would anyone pay before you know if it works completely or not? I saw it block 2 or 3 overlays and miss 2. So is a 60/40-ish success rate worth 20 bucks? Your call. They should ABSOLUTELY be more upfront about what is going to happen before you install. I can only assume that the trial period is so drastically short because they don't want people to see how hit and miss the extension is. A note to the Devs, if your extension really works then give people more time to evaluate it. I would suggest giving them 48 hours with unlimited blocks. People will be able to truly check it out. You will end up making more money because people will generally pay for a good product. As it sits now, you are asking people to pay for the unknown.

A bit slow, but it does work. But the $19 Extortion price is not worth it.
