ButWhyMod Chrome Extension

Removes and/or stops stuff like modals(in-page popups), videos, etc. *Please be aware that some websites requires modals.*.
Modals are those in page pop-up windows. Those pop up windows aren't their own window or alert window. This tries to remove all of them. Annoyed with pages asking you to sign up with newsletters? Hate it facebook has a big annoying window to ask you to sign in when you just want to look at a post? Tired to being forced to click "agree" in a terms and conditions popup so you can view a page? Me too. Got so tired of it I took time to make this.

Please be aware that some pages/web app require modals to function.

You can also:

Whitelist/ignore list of hosts that you don't want to disable modals on.

set custom domain and patterns list.

Turn off automatic removal and disable modals on a per-page basis.

Add to Apply list to only disable modals on certain sites

Set what css style to apply to what element on what page

stop auto playing videos

Skip previously unskippable videos

Finer video forward and rewind capabilities.

version 2.7:

Accidentally over optimized code, causing the skip button to not work. Fixed.

version 2.6:

even better advance controls.

-advance controls and overrides only apply when mouse cursor is over a video.

-Shift, ctrl and alt can be used in combination. i.e. shift+ctrl+right arrow means video is forwarded by 21 seconds (shift=20, ctrl=1. 20+1)

*note* please note that key overrides in browser DO NOT override os level key binds. This means if the os uses ctrl+alt+right arrow, this will NOT override that.

version 2.5:

When the "skip" button option is turned on, any video that's moused over once will have finer video advanced forward and rewind capabilities.

Shift+arrow keys= 20 sec, arrow=5 sec, ctrl+arrow=1 sec, alt+arrow=0.1 sec

*note* this will override default actions/key presses.

version 2.4:

At the request of

https://github.com/sleepingkirby/butWhyMod/issues/2

version 2.2:

small bug fixes.
