A major missed overlay is that stupid google vignette... might not be malicious but is very annoying.

Great idea, but it needs a bit more work. Some websites don't work with this plugin, so there should be a black-list of sites where to disable this plugin.
Also, some websites disable scrollbars while overlays are shown (bild.de), so I think the add-on should re-enable those again.
