## Description

PopupGuard helps reduce common website popups so pages are easier to use.

It can handle promo/newsletter popups, sign-in/login prompts, and cookie banners. PopupGuard works on websites by default, and you can disable it globally or disable it for specific sites.

Features:
<ul><li>Global on/off toggle</li><li>Separate toggles for promo, login, and cookie popups</li><li>Cookie modes: Strict, Balanced, Off</li><li>Per-site disable (disabled sites list)</li><li>Debug panel showing the last action taken on the current site</li><li>PopupGuard is designed to run locally in your browser. It does not use remote servers or analytics. Cookie handling is privacy-first and does not automatically accept cookies by default.</li></ul>
Website popup systems vary, so behavior may differ between sites. If a site breaks, disable PopupGuard for that site.
