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?
uBlock also has the “eyedropper” (idk its proper name) that you can use to pick css blocks on the page and preview what it looks like with that block removed. If you find the block for the content you want to remove, you can save it so that future instances of that block just won’t load in the first place. Works great for embedded chats and those annoying mid-article newsletter sign up flyovers.
