Extension Usage Instructions
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.
