To deactivate the extension, users can either hit the escape key or click on the bomb icon again.
Furthermore, boom! provides the option to assign a hotkey for toggling the extension on and off. This can be done by going to Tools -> Extensions and clicking on the "Keyboard shortcuts" link at the bottom.
With its ability to declutter pages, improve readability, and address common browsing issues, boom! is a valuable Chrome extension for users looking to enhance their online experience.
