Auto Overlay Remover
Automatic remove overlays
This lightweight extension automatically close overlay popup without the need to press on any button.
You have probably encountered in web sites you visit, the frustrating overlay which masks the page content with a transparent or semitransparent background and above it a registration form, sign up for newsletter, advertising of products, a survey and etc.
Overlays are the next generation after the standard popup window, which has almost gone from our web world. Overlays are much trickier and can appear in a variety of ways like: on website on load even before you can see any content, after a delay, when you move your mouse, click on something or even more creative ways.
This extension is lightweight and will close for you most of the overlays without doing anything. There is no need to click or press anything for almost any overlay. You can add specific web sites to a white list, use different timing or more aggressive overlay cleaning.
The permission to read / write needed for saving the white list.
I hope that my extension will succeed to make your web surfing less frustrating and more pleasant.

Probably scam / malicieus. Do not install

Definitely helps!.. though I decided to go with another extension that I think catches a little more. Users might also consider, running in tandem the "Nope To Overlays" extension, which is manual vs being automatic. It picks up a few strays. It makes a great team! There are times, however, that Auto Overlay picks up pop up windows that I need.. they do have a white list option. 11/21 Even more effective at times, is using a ReaderView Extension if it suits your style. Some of them work on autorun.

NOT WORKING!!!! This is a scam. You should be ashamed.

it works but not smooth at all, you see the the unwanted overlay for a while (1-3 sec) and then it disappears. So, technically, it does its job but in a clumsy way.

Nice! To anyone who liked this extension, check out the PopUpOFF one - it also prevents overlays from appearing.

Maybe this works on some sites, I don't know. I only wanted it to remove the annoying agreement on Google in private mode. Didn't work.

Works perfectly fine for most sites. Tried it on one of the worst (kbb) and it worked perfectly. Some sites fail to load properly because of it, at which point you just have to white list and deal with it.

One day after installation, says it's no longer able to provide protection without payment. Clearly ransomeware.
