Features & Capabilities

Overlay Remover Auto is a Chrome extension designed to automatically detect and close overlays or popups on supported websites, improving your browsing experience without manual intervention. Based on the Behind The Overlay extension by Nicolae Namolovan, this tool can be customized to operate in blacklist mode (running only on enabled sites) or whitelist mode (running on all sites except those you disable).

Features include automatic overlay detection on page load and timed intervals for delayed overlays, with options to stop timed runs after the first overlay removal. The extension supports easy configuration per site via the extension button and syncs settings across open tabs. While the overlay detection algorithm focuses on central screen overlays, future improvements may enhance detection of overlays, like bottom screen cookie notifications. Overlay Remover Auto requires permissions for Tabs, website data access, and storage to function efficiently. Its open-source code is available on GitHub for transparency and community contributions.

User Reviews

Overlay Remover Auto helps automatically hide overlays and pop-ups, with strong praise for its simple design and site-specific controls via whitelist/blacklist. Users value auto-closing overlays and a cleaner browsing experience. However, compatibility gaps on some sites, potential blocking of legitimate sites, and setup friction are the main downsides.

Pros

Efficiently removes overlays and pop-ups, improving browsing by reducing interruptions.
Offers fine-grained site control via blacklist/whitelist, allowing you to decide where overlays are blocked.
Simple, clean, and easy-to-use interface; praised as reliable and useful by several users.
Auto-close overlays on demand and provide customization for blocking on specific sites.

Cons

Not compatible with all sites; some sites (e.g., Reddit) may not be supported.
Whitelist/blacklist mode can block legitimate sites or be hard to tune, and pop-ups may interrupt before you can blacklist.
Setup and initial configuration can be tedious or annoying, including manual site entries.

Is Overlay Remover Auto 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.

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

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.

Overlay Remover Auto has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
