Overlay Remover Auto - Auto Eliminate Web Overlays

Overlay Remover Auto is a chrome extension that contributes to a smoother user experience by automatically eliminating annoying overlays on websites you browse. Built upon the foundation of the Behind The Overlay extension by Nicolae Namolovan, it identifies and closes overlays that might hinder navigation. Despite some limitations, like possible undetected cookie notifications at the screen bottom, the tool provides an easy configuration system for each site and a timer for delayed overlays which can be halted upon finding the first overlay. It requires permissions for tabs and storage.
