✨ Core Features
Intelligent 3-State Logic
You are always in control. For every website, you can choose to:
- 🔵 Allow: Let all popups through. Perfect for sites you trust.
- 🔴 Deny: Silently block all popups without any notification. Ideal for websites you never want to be interrupted by again.
- ❔ Ask (Default): The script blocks the popup and presents a beautiful, non-intrusive notification bar, asking you what to do.
Advanced Blocking Engine
- Window Popups: Intercepts
window.open calls, distinguishing between user-initiated actions and aggressive scripts.
- Tab Opening Links: Blocks links and forms designed to open in a new tab (
target="_blank").
- Modal & Overlay Blocking: Detects and hides annoying elements that cover the page, like newsletter signups and cookie banners, while automatically re-enabling page scrolling.
- Redirect Protection: A powerful shield activates when a popup is blocked, preventing the original page from being redirected to an unwanted site.
Modern & User-Friendly
- Sleek "Glass" UI: A beautiful, dark-mode, glassmorphism interface for all notifications and configuration panels.
- Custom Logo & Icons: A polished and professional look and feel.
- Escape Hatch: If our modal blocker ever gets in the way of a legitimate login window, use the "Disable Modal Blocker (1 Tab)" command from your userscript manager's menu to temporarily pause it.

🔧 How to Use
- The Notification Bar: When a popup is blocked, a sleek bar will appear at the bottom of the screen with clear options.
- Configuration Panel: Access the configuration panel from the "⚙️ Config" button on the notification bar, or through the Tampermonkey menu. Here you can manually add, view, and remove sites from your Allowed and Denied lists.
- Toast Notifications: When on a "Denied" site or when a modal is hidden, you'll receive a discreet, temporary notification in the bottom-right corner.
