No doubt the web bods will already know this, but for the masses, there's an easy way block pop-up videos in any form.

  • Start with about:config in a fresh tab.
  • Filter with dom.popup
  • Then select dom.popup_maximum and change value to zero.
I've just discovered this and wanted to share.

Yes! finally sick of pop up videos.

Just need Firefox to find a way to get rid of the annoying cookie pop ups now.

Haha got Firefox, Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera, Tor on my Ubuntu laptop.

Unfortunately my ChromeOS device, yep you guessed it, can only use Chrome.
