Hi,
Can someone please tell me how to stop these little pop-up videos playing in Chrome browser? Is it possible?
I don't wish to change browsers and these are really irritating.
Cheers,
MBE

If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

uBlock Origin. No adverts and no popups on websites and even blocks youtube adverts.
You should probably mention the site, assume you posted a picture which wont play videos?

It doesn't block them with the standard install ... maybe it does with some tweaking, but I've never tried to do that with such popup videos.0

As above, try creating the rule in uBlock and it should work.0
