Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Hey! Have you seen the terrific rating above? You must be wondering: “Is it finally a good popup blocker? Should I try it?” Do read the text below to find out if that's something you'd like to give a try.

So, answering your questions: “No and Yes” - it isn’t some “good” popup blocker. PopUpOFF is brilliant: https://github.com/RomanistHere/PopUpOFF/issues/16 - and you should definitely try it if you are as annoyed with popups, cookie notifications, overlays and other sticky things that overlay content as I do.

Why?

PopUpOFF doesn’t just block some popups that other developers paid for, but YOU are in control of it. You decide not to have any single overlay on the screen or casually remove only the most annoying things (hi cookie notifications and subscription popups).
You can unlock and read PAID content FOR FREE on some websites (see the video above).
Size of this extension is 100 times less than any other average popup blocker in the store. Size doesn’t matter? Well… I wouldn't be so sure about that.
PopUpOFF is a non-commercial and open-source project. It means no ads, no tracking, everything it has is available for you for free and forever. I am RomanistHere and I’m giving you this piece of better web.

Drawbacks?

It still is in development, so there could be bugs or imperfect solutions, I’m working on it solo and there are other things in the world to do. So be gentle, I created it for myself back then, but now I’m doing it for you.
PopUpOFF is as addictive as it gets. After you start using it, there would be no way back. You were warned :)

I really enjoy this extension, and I use it a lot. This is not an Ad blocker, this is a pop-up/sticky element blocker. Many sites nowadays have features that "stick" to your screen in some way, and this removes as much of that you want it to. It works well, and allows me to tell a site "No" when it keeps wanting to put stuff in my face. A friend recommended this to me about a year and a half ago, I have enjoyed it this whole time.
