- Rated 3 out of 5by Drago, 6 months agoAktualisierung vom 14.03.2024 Add-On v.2.1.3:
Vorteile:
+ Das Beste ist, dass die Entfernung sehr schlau durchdacht ist: Cookie/Popup wird entfernt, die Scrollbar repariert und danach ggf. ein verschwommenes Overlay (blur-Element) zielsicher entfernt.
+ Der Entwickler kümmert sich extrem gut um Updates und reagiert auf Feedbacks schnell und zuverlässig, perfekt!
Nachteile:
- Fehler v.2.1.3: auf ebay.de ist die Chat-Funktion nicht mehr möglich - eingegebene Antworten werden nicht gepostet, auch wenn PopUpOFF auf "Turn OFF" steht!
- Bei zusätzlichem Verwenden von Addons wie "I (still) don't care about cookies" dauert das Laden vieler Shop/Social-Websites immer noch sehr viel länger als üblich (amazon, ebay, youtube, reddit, etc). Aber es ist nicht mehr ganz so schlimm wie früher.
- Das Addon ist ganz gut in der Entdeckung und Entfernung von hartnäckigen Bannern/Cookies, einfachere werden hingegen NICHT blockiert (meist die mit "X"- zum Schließen!). Es erkennt aber oft die neusten Methoden für Overlays/Banner.
Fazit: Dieses Addon sehr mächtig und ein tolles Werkzeug mit einem erstklassigen Entwickler (ich benutzte es seit Beginn und schon lange bevor es so berühmt war wie heute). Für eine noch bessere Erkennung empfehle ich dringend: Füge deinem Code die Erkennungsrate von "Cookie-Banner-Blocker" (Autor: otsmr) hinzu. Danach müssen noch Captchas auf die Whitelist gesetzt werden (otsmr hat dies nicht). Dies würde das Addon wahrscheinlich dann sogar noch besser machen als "I (still) don't care about cookies" und "superagent".

Update from 14.03.2024 Add-On v.2.1.3:
Pros:
+ The best thing is that the removal is very cleverly thought out: cookie/popup is removed, the scrollbar is fixed and then, if necessary, a blurry overlay (blur element) is unerringly removed.
+ The developer takes extremely good care of updates and responds to feedback quickly and reliably, perfect!
Disadvantages:
- Bug v.2.1.3: on ebay.de the chat function is no longer possible - entered answers are not posted, even if PopUpOFF is set to "Turn OFF"!
- When additionally using addons like "I (still) don't care about cookies", loading many shop/social websites still takes much longer than usual (amazon, ebay, youtube, reddit, etc). But it's not quite as bad as it used to be.
- The addon is quite good at detecting and removing stubborn banners/cookies, but simpler ones are NOT blocked (mostly the ones with "X"- to close!). However, it often recognizes the latest methods for overlays/banners.
Conclusion: This addon is very powerful and a great tool with a first class developer (I've been using it since the beginning and long before it was as famous as it is today). For even better detection, I strongly recommend: add the detection rate of "Cookie Banner Blocker" (author: otsmr) to your code. After that, captchas must be added to the whitelist (otsmr does not have this). This would probably make the add-on even better than "I (still) don't care about cookies" and "superagent". - Rated 3 out of 5by Manish, 10 months agoGmail main menu is not visible with this add-on switched-on.
Developer response
posted 10 months agoUnlike other popup blockers, you want PopUpOFF to be enabled only on websites polluted with overlays. Gmail is not one of them and by default it's disabled there. No need to enable it since services like Gmail use overlays to display content. - Rated 3 out of 5by fernman, 3 years agoMy preferred setting of Moderate keeps reverting to Dormant, and occasionally to Aggressive. Or is it meant to behave like that? I'm confused.
Response to developer: No to the 1st question. Changes were random, sometimes it was changed when I opened my browser, and sometimes it didn't change until after I had looked at 3 or 4 different sites. It changed to Aggressive when I was on the page to write the above review!Developer response
posted 3 years agoIt's not supposed to work like this!
Could you provide me with more information please? Do you use any sandbox or other isolate-JavaScript apps? Is it changing after every page reload or after you close your browser?
I would be extremely grateful if you answered these questions, this way, I could fix it and no more users are going to experience this behavior! Thank you!
In the meantime I suggest you try to reinstall the extension.
EDIT: Thanks for your help, I'll try to fix!
