What is Overlay Remover Auto?

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.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Based on Behind The Overlay extension by Nicolae Namolovan.

This extension automatically removes detected overlays on enabled websites. Can be easily configured for specific website (by clicking the the extension button).

Some websites display delayed overlays - set timed run for these websites. On some websites the timed run can remove more than just the overlay - in this case set the "Stop timer if overlay found" to stop after first overlay is removed.

Note on algorithm for detection: it is still default from Nicolae Namolovan - it looks for overlays in the center of the screen, so it might not detect some of the cookie notifications displayed on the bottom of the screen. I might improve that in the future.

Requires permissions: tabs (for automatic running of ora_content.js on all websites - but only runs on enabled ones), storage (for storing of settings)
