About Overlay Blocker
Overlay Blocker hides intrusive pop-up overlays and restores access to the page beneath them. It detects many centered overlays, removes their backdrop, and releases common scrolling locks.
STAY IN CONTROL
Use Allow once to restore a blocked overlay, Allow always to allow a website, or switch blocking off from the toolbar popup. Dialogs opened by your own click or keyboard action are generally left alone. Some overlays, including content inside cross-origin frames, cannot be detected.
TRY IT FREE
New users receive 8 free blocks. Purchase a licence at https://www.overlayblock.com and enter your purchase email in Options to activate unlimited blocks. Existing unlimited licences are preserved.
PRIVACY
Overlay detection and interaction checks run locally in your browser. The extension does not send page text, form contents, keystrokes, or a background browsing history to us. Settings and licence state use Chrome sync storage. Licence emails are sent to overlayblock.com for activation and saved licence checks. Clicking Report this site sends the current page URL to us for troubleshooting; the Options contact form sends the details you enter. Privacy policy: https://www.overlayblock.com/privacy/
WHAT IS NEW
Rebuilt for Manifest V3 with a service worker, updated controls, open-shadow-root and modal-dialog support, and improved page unlocking.
