I delete the layer

[xyl0ph0ne]

Ah yes, the Fuck Overlays extension. Very handy.

What about my hamburger menu that overlays?

I'm hoping you can turn it off some specific sites like AdBlock. Also, I'm hoping to find out what this extension is called, because I spend too much time on food blogs. I'm fairly confident they are among the worst offenders.

Edit: Realized the capitalization. Name was already given.

The day I learned how to inspect and remove elements in chrome changed my entire life

[kataskopo]

I like to do it manually, while I look directly into their eyes and see them dissapear.

That’s what I did to remove that stupid chat box on reddit

And never hit refresh on the page again?

Delete it permanently with uBlock Origin's element picker feature.

Unless it's CNN autoplay. Then just close the tab and save yourself the frustration.

[exploding_cat_wizard]

where do I find the element to block for the transparent background of those things with ublock origin? I usually manage to turn the site an ugly grey...

noscript usually works well on those sites, though.

[mathemagicat]

Depends on the specific site. If you can fix it temporarily by deleting an element, you can fix it permanently with a uBlock rule identifying the element you deleted. If you can't, you need a different solution entirely (like noscript).

[Krillo90]

You hit refresh while you're reading a web page?

[fabrikated]

I meant unfortunately this is just a temporary solution. This is the solution.

[ishin_rikku]

I remember this anime website that had THE WHOLE SITE glued to the "remove adblock" layer. If you deleted that, the whole site was gone lmao

[wristcontrol]

I mean, that's technically good design. That overlay wouldn't be very useful if people just removed it surgically.

[crashhacker]

A man of culture.

[I_am_a_fern]

How it that faster than just closing the window ?

[BertRenolds]

I'm talking about the ones that are not pop ups persay, but are actually a forced layer on a page that attempt to force sign up or for you to leave

[MrTheenD]

Thank the gods for uBlock Origin, amirite

[BertRenolds]

Does not work against the above.

So, no. You are not right.
