Behind The Overlay

Close any overlay on any website with a single click or keys. Use keyboard shortcut on Windows ctrl+shift+x or on MacOS cmd+shift+x (think about x as the close button you can use on any website). Once you get used to the keyboard shortcut, you'll be using it all the time and gonna love it ! ; )

Important features:

• It works on any website. It doesn't rely on a static list of rules, as some other extensions.
• It doesn't require any permissions.
• No performance impact on your browsing. It will only activate when triggered.
• (NEW) Also removes blurred backgrounds and unlocks the scroll bar.
