Web Design Peeve Of The Day:
This web site pops up an overlay asking you to subscribe, which you can handily get rid of with a nice big "Close" button at the bottom. Unfortunately, on my netbook (the smallest standard size, but still a standard size) the overlay floats so that the "Close" button is just off-screen no matter where I scroll to. Don't use fixed positioning unless you've made your overlay either really small, or very adaptive to different screen sizes.
- ars 14y agoI find this firefox addon very useful: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nuke-anything-enhanced/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nuke-anything... I just get rid of annoyances like that using it - it's not ideal, but at least I can see the site. (Also try using the escape, some places remember to program that.)
- pygy_ 14y agoIs there a chrome equivalent? I use the web inspector to that end, but it is slow to load.
- maxerickson 14y ago"Remove Element" is at least similar.
- pygy_ 14y agoJust what I needed, thanks.

- toong 14y agoI just instinctively hit the ESC key. All good :-)
- daimyoyo 14y agoAdblock. Things like that should only be a problem once.
- pygy_ 14y agoZoom out. (I agree it is an annoying oversight)
