About this extension
What's it all about?
Some websites will use an overlay to mask its content with a transparent background to force you to read a message before you can see the actual content.
I find this very annoying as every site will have a different way to close that overlay popup.
This extension solves this problem by offering you one button to close any overlay on any website you may ever encounter.

- Non-intrusive. The extension activates only when you click its button, thereby it has no impact on navigation performance when you don't use the extension. Doesn't inject tons of CSS rules as AdBlock extension is doing for example.
- Supports hiding of multiple DOM overlay elements.
- Enables overflow auto of the body when overlay script hides it to disable the scroll of the page.
