To delete it just right click and delete or if you just wanna turn it off click the green dot to the left of it that ' s muteunmute . EDIT you should read the fl manual or something <| sep |> I am going to wait until they do something that is actually questionable before questioning it . Plenty of people had asked Google to do exactly this . Even I have in the past . They are basically the only entity that can put a stop to this incredibly annoying behavior . Personally I hope they go a little bit further , and demote any site with a full screen marketing popup whether , it ' s easy to dismiss or not . NO I don ' t want to sign up for your newsletter , and you covering up the content I was reading means I wish Google steered me towards a different relevant website . Since Google ' s stated goal is to serve the results you are looking for , demoting all of these annoying popups just makes sense .
