Mouse Freeze – Block Hover Overlays

About

Mouse Freeze puts your cursor in ghost mode — no hover overlays, no sticky menus, no pop-ups. Just the page, clean.

Ever watched a video and had the player controls hijack your screen the second your mouse drifts over it? Or tried to read an article while a sticky subscription banner follows you everywhere? Mouse Freeze fixes that instantly.

One click on the toolbar icon (or press Alt+Shift+F) and a transparent shield drops over the entire page. Your mouse still moves, but the page stops reacting to it. No more hover-triggered overlays. No more elements lighting up when you didn't ask them to.
