SkipScreen: Skip Intrusive Interstitial Screens on Websites

A browser extension that detects and skips intrusive screens, including popups, splash screens, age gates, notifications prompts, and newsletter subscription forms, with a one-click option to hide them immediately.

What is SkipScreen?

SkipScreen is a browser extension available for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Microsoft Edge that helps users avoid intrusive popups, splash screens, age gates, notifications prompts and newsletter subscription forms on websites. It works by detecting these elements when they appear and provides users with a simple one-click button to hide them immediately.

As soon as SkipScreen detects an intrusive interstitial, it will display a small icon in the corner of the webpage. Users can then click on this icon to instantly hide the popup or splash screen and continue straight to the main content of the website. This creates a much smoother browsing experience without having to click through unnecessary screens.

In addition to hiding annoying screens, SkipScreen also remembers user preferences. So if you continually dismiss popups from a certain website, it will detect and block those automatically next time without you having to click the icon. This saves even more time compared to manually closing popups each visit.

SkipScreen is designed to be lightweight, running smoothly in the background without slowing down web browsing. And it only targets intrusive interstitials, allowing harmless notifications like website cookies policies to still be displayed. Overall, it's a simple but very effective tool for anyone tired of excessive splash screens and popups.
