The “Behind the Overlay” extension for Firefox and Chrome doesn’t have the ability to intelligently detect whether something is an desired overlay or an undesired overlay, but it can pretty consistently, with a click on its button or a keyboard shortcut, remove them.
I imagine that someone could probably make something fancier, with a lot of logic, kinda like Dark Reader or something, to guess whether a given overlay is “obnoxious” and just hide it by default.
