User Reviews

Users appreciate Kill Sticky as a simple and effective add-on that removes sticky overlays and pop-ups on webpages, enhancing readability on both desktop and Android Firefox. The add-on is praised for its ease of use and developer responsiveness. However, common complaints include the lack of persistent blocking of stickies across page reloads, occasional erratic behavior like freezing page scrolling, and no built-in options to automate or undo sticky removals per site, which users desire for better convenience and control.

Pros

Effectively removes annoying sticky pop-ups and overlays, improving webpage readability.
Simple to use with a click of the X button to kill sticky elements.
Available and functional on Firefox for Android as well as desktop.
Lightweight and better than many alternative add-ons that fail to remove sticky elements.
Developer responsiveness, added requested features like keyboard shortcut promptly.

Cons

Sticky pop-ups reappear upon page reload; no persistent blocking per site currently.
No built-in option to automatically kill stickies on specific sites without manual intervention.
Reports of erratic behavior such as freezing underlying page or preventing scrolling after removal of sticky.
Higher RAM usage reported by some users after extended use.
No easy way to revert 'always kill' settings or undo sticky removals without resetting browser or add-on.

Click the X button and WHAM-O dead annoying anything that pop ups or floats when scrolling, I love this addon.

Add a user-settable key-bind and let me drag it off the toolbar and run it from kb or script, and it would be a 5 star. Still pretty darn good and 4 star. Blue sky feature req: Add 2 right-click options "always kill this sticky on this site automatically" and "revoke any allways-kill settings for this page".

Didn't work for me. On finance.yahoo.com it blocks the player on page load, but when you scroll down the page a second time it reappears.

Is Kill Sticky 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.

Kill Sticky does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Kill Sticky has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
