The 90's rang... they want their popups back. Kills off annoying in-page overlay divs, and stops autoplaying videos.

Description from store
Are you getting fed up of all the clutter polluting your web browser every time you visit a web page?
"Please accept cookies"... "Indicate your GDPR consent"... "Sign up to our mailinglist"... "Here's an autoplaying video I'm going to shove down your throat"... "Before you go, sign up"...
GAH!! It's like being back in the 90's where Internet Explorer was drowned in popups, except this time, these annoying popups are appearing inside the actual web pages as modal dialog boxes.
So we wrote a handy browser extension to get rid of this clutter... ShyteAway!
Features:
* Blocks modal dialog boxes except for menus and logins
* Blocks cookie / GDPR consent nag boxes
* Stops timed "sign up for stuff" boxes from appearing
* Stops videos from auto-playing
* Choose which sites you want to disable blocking for
* Remembers your per-site settings
* Toggle ShyteAway on and off for your whole browser session

- (2021-09-22) ce ce: 2021-09-SEPTEMBER-22-WEDNESDAY Works so well EVERY website becomes a blank white page like it's blocking EVERYTHING! In this case might as well just disconnect from the internet and surf the invisible web in your mind. Can't use let alone even read a single thing from ANY website I've come across (Google Docs, Sheets, also fail to function) ShyteAway - GDPR consent & popup blocker Offered by: michaeljtbrooks Version 0.3.1 Updated October 3, 2020 Size 193KiB Language English (UK) Developer Contact the developer 40 Cobholm Place Cambridge CB4 2UN United Kingdom https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/shyteaway-gdpr-consent-po/mgkagalippgjdbfbocknlcbmbopeipib
- (2021-08-05) _ Vogelmann_: Also removes search boxes, at least on google.com and google.de, as well as many needed page elements on other sites. Coded too agressive, though it seems to be the only extension of this kind able to remove the google consent dialogs. This extension obviously needs some rework as well as a whitelist, otherwise useless for me.
- (2020-12-07) Jacob Burnette: Needs a site whitelist so that it doesn't impede functionality on certain websites while still blocking all others.
- (2020-01-29) Tyler Billingsley: FINALLY!!!! Kills the modal bullshyte that pops up on every site I use for work and news. THANK YOU!!!! Just tweak it to kill the border-pop modal rubbish and it will be perfect. Still brilliant AF, and saves me loads of time throughout the workday!
- (2019-04-30) Has had no effects on popups at the edge of the browser window, only on free-floating popups.

Nice extension. Works great on many pages. Unfortunately, it does break a number of legit pages, such as Google Calendar and a few others I've noticed. It would be great if instead of being enabled for every site and manually disabling the extension, it could be disabled for every site and I could enable it for specific sites. Chrome does have a "specific site" site access feature, but that's not quick and easy to access. - (2019-01-15, v:0.2.3) Michael Brooks: Can I send you feedback and stuff?
Why, yes you can! The current version of ShyteAway is 0.2.something. At the moment it cuts the basic clutter like cookie notices. I fully intent to make it smarter by listening to your feedback!
