Features & Capabilities

How does it work? This extension scans the entire page for elements with a gradient background. If the element is contained within the same screen area as a video element, the gradient background is removed.

Issues?

This initial release is very basic. There is the possibility that gradient elements that shouldn't be removed are removed. Or gradients that should be removed aren't.

The extension works well ,but there is an issue : Every time i would like to watch a video the extension doesn't work automatically , i must disable the extension and then to enable it again !

Works perfectly and immediately. I didn't even have to reload my episode on Max and the awful overlay is gone. No negative performance impact, it makes the interface actually seem more responsive and snappier. I've been trying solutions all day and nothing worked, but this is the one. Thanks!

Is Dark Overlay Remover Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Dark Overlay Remover requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
