PopupBeGone is a user-friendly Chrome extension designed to automatically remove intrusive popups that disrupt your browsing, such as newsletter signups, adblocker disable requests, and download prompts. With features like one-click popup killing shortcut (Ctrl-Shift-X), customizable whitelist for allowing popups on trusted sites, and a lightweight fast mode, it ensures a seamless and smooth user experience without compromising system performance.

Unlike complex adblockers, PopupBeGone focuses solely on popup removal, re-enables scrolling, clears blurred content, and eliminates content covers for better website usability. It respects your privacy by collecting no user data and is fully compatible with other adblocking extensions. For ongoing improvements or to report issues, users can contribute via the project's GitHub repository.

Extension safety

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.

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