I use Safari with Adguard and Chrome with Ublock on macOS and Chrome on Android with AdAway root version, and they work pretty fine for blocking ads, but these videos especially in news sites always autoplay and annoy me a bit, I think they have the same effect as the ads in annoyance level for me.
Do you know of some extensions or workarounds to get rid of them for good?
The internet is surprisingly made more usable in a lot of cases when you disable JavaScript. I use Noscript along with Unblock simply because there are less clicks involved to “green light” which cdns/scripts you want to allow through.
This along with a few other niceties like invidious, yt-dlp, sponsorblock, and the duckduckgo lite search engine have made it so I don’t feel distracted, overwhelmed, nor frustrated navigating the web anymore.
