Help finding filter list to block full-screen popups

Post by HYdZ »

Some website are poorly designed with full-screen popups that impair one's ability to interact with the website. When landing on them without cookies present, they take over the page with a full-screen popup. It is a horrible practice that needs a solution cause website designers keep doing it. For example, I land at Barnes & Noble, start typing out a search term and boom--the screen is taken over by a popup: Sign Up & Save 15%. This is probably the worst way to advertise this. I want to block all these kind of popups permanently.

Can anyone help me find a filter list that will accomplish this? I looked at the Fanboy Annoyances lists but none of these worked on the sites I tested. Perhaps there are some lists out there that will work? Alternatively, might someone direct me to a guide on how I can create a universal (not site specific) way to block these popups across all websites?

Here are a few example websites that I want to apply the filter on so I never see their full-screen popups again:

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/
https://www.goodreads.com/
http://maxwellsc.com/
https://www.foundmyfitness.com/
