PopupScope Autor: Vishal M

PopupScope is a browser extension that inspects and analyzes intrusive popups, overlays, and modal dialogs instead of simply blocking them. It monitors webpages in real time, detects suspicious UI elements using behavioral heuristics, and explains why they are classified as intrusive. The extension highlights how popups interact with the page, including screen coverage, layering, and scroll behavior, helping users and developers understand what is happening behind the interface.

PopupScope is designed as a lightweight inspection and learning tool. It turns everyday browsing into a transparent view of modern web UI patterns, making it easier to study how websites deploy interactive elements and how those elements influence user interaction. It is especially useful for developers, security learners, and curious users who want deeper insight into how webpages structure and manage popup behavior.
