Hide Web Page Overlay Layer is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the browsing experience by automatically removing intrusive overlay elements. It specifically targets web page components with a z-index greater than a user-defined threshold, effectively eliminating distractions such as floating ads and pop-up windows.

The extension offers key features including automatic hiding of elements upon page load, a manual hide option for user control, and a manage hide list for customizing which web pages should have the hiding rules applied. Additionally, it provides a status display in the popup to inform users if the current page is included in the hide list, ensuring a seamless and tailored browsing experience.
