  I created this browser extension to solve a personal annoyance. It automatically removes obnoxious prompts on websites that interrupt your reading, like prompts to sign up or enter your email address, overlays with discount offers, pointless GDPR and cookie consent banners, etc.

  It's in early development and doesn't work on most websites, yet. The aim is to build up a comprehensive set of rules over time to block modals anywhere. Creating your definitions is easy and can be done from within the extension. The project is open-source and I'm looking for contributors!
