Serious post: I wanna share an extension that Ive found to be very useful with you all...
Its simply called 'BehindTheOverlay' and is available for chrome or firefox. It simply removes any overlays at the click of a button...
How is this useful? Well being outside the UK I'm targeted constantly with a GDRP related popup about cookies and privacy, every time I hit a new site after clicking a newslink or similar on GFY. I cant just close it, and it wants me to accept cookies and see what they are gonna be used for etc, and it can take a few moments to do. On a site I visit regularly, thats OK, but if I'm only gonna go there just the one time, to read one thing, who cares? So I just click remove overlay, it disappears, I read article and I'm on my way. Simples... Anyway, I just thought Id let everyone know about this, as I find it very useful. Just google BehindTheOverlay and it will be the top result :) |
I will try it out. These privacy/cookie policy pop-ups are a pain in the ass.

Perfect real life example:
Just reading another thread : "8 Signals for Heart Attack" So I click the link and I get this... https://i.imgur.com/vlV6dLn.png So I have the choice to either agree to something that I'm not fully informed about, or 'Leave' (Not read the article). Sure I can read the TOS of the privacy policy before I click agree, but fuck it! I aint got no time for that! So I hit the button on my toolbar that activates BehindTheOverlay and voila ! https://i.imgur.com/jUtsNvb.png Im in and reading straight away, with no need to consent or agree to anything ! PERFECT :) |
Admit it, you found this by accident because you thought poo was behind the overlay
|
Great share. I'll check it out!
