What is Overlay Blocker?

Overlay Blocker is a browser add-on tool specifically designed for Chrome users. It works to block unwanted and annoying overlay pop-ups while browsing the internet, ensuring a seamless and disruption-free online experience. The extension differentiates between 'good' and 'bad' pop-ups, and allows for easy adjustment of preferences, including whitelisting certain sites. Overlay Blocker effectively eliminates disturbances like email subscription forms, social media sign-ins, unwanted offers, download or sign-up forms, and more.

WARNING: They block the app after 10 uses, and then extort you into paying $19 for the app. Scam

A Google user, 2018-03-20

Borderline Fraudulent. Doesn't tell you about costing $19.99 after 10 blocks in the beginning. Those 10 blocks will only allow you to visit 3 or 4 websites so you don't have any real chance to know if it works well or not before it shuts down and ask for the $19.99. Why would anyone pay before you know if it works completely or not? I saw it block 2 or 3 overlays and miss 2. So is a 60/40-ish success rate worth 20 bucks? Your call. They should ABSOLUTELY be more upfront about what is going to happen before you install. I can only assume that the trial period is so drastically short because they don't want people to see how hit and miss the extension is. A note to the Devs, if your extension really works then give people more time to evaluate it. I would suggest giving them 48 hours with unlimited blocks. People will be able to truly check it out. You will end up making more money because people will generally pay for a good product. As it sits now, you are asking people to pay for the unknown.
