Extension summary

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 :)

User reviews

I've tried many and this one is much better than the others. It manages to remove the annoying pop-ups that ask for cookie permissions repeatedly... I'm finally free of them! Other extensions require you to pay to have the same functionality that this one offers for FREE. I'm happy to have discovered it. Many thanks to the developer Roman Smunyov. He probado muchos y este es mucho mejor que los demás. Consigue suprimir las molestas ventanas que piden los permisos de las cookies de forma repetida... ¡por fin me he librado de ellas! Otras extensiones tienes que pagar para tener las mismas funciones que esta ofrece GRATIS. Estoy feliz de haberlo descubierto. Muchas gracias al desarrollador Roman Smunyov.

Excellent, stops pop-ups like those that ask for permissions to steal your data and make you un-tick 100 boxes before you can use the site.
