For desktop.

Not mobile.

(I had, at one point, some 2,000 or so personally modified wepage CSS files under Stylish for just this sort of crap.)

this solution is absurd, do you understand?

It works. You can get rid of many annoying pop-ups and overlays that way. It even works on dumber paywalls.

True, but it isn't very practical and doesn't actually answer the question. It does work, however.

given that it's not automatic and it doesn't work on mobile or for people who have no experience in html, it doesn't work and it should not be even considered as a solution, because internet is not for tech-savy people and this discussion is about marketing and internet advertisement which is for all people.

so no, it doesn't work on a larger scale. it's like suggesting to hack MS Windows checks if provided licence key is valid in order to use OS. It works, but for narrow audience, and we should discuss about how to solve issue for all users.
