I have limited BW (expensive, too!). Chrome took away (or hid deeply) the ability to stop videos from automatically playing when you go to a site. Annoying as all get out!

Thanks. Very helpful.

Thanks for posting. That Readable website does not do what the article says. Or I’m going to the wrong one. Is anybody familiar with this? American Thinker made me disable my ad blocker and now I get a massive headache every time I go there.

YouTube annoyances:

1. If you disable autoplay and close the browser, the next time you go back, it’s enabled again. I thought that was what cookies were supposed to do for you.

2. That popup that constantly begs you to sign up for a “free” trial of their YouTube TV pay service, and the one that asks you “how is YouTube today?”

3. “An error occurred. Please try again later”. I’m guessing your ad blocker is preventing the display of an ad, but you still have to wait for the 15 or 30 seconds for it to get to the video you want to see.

4. If you’re browsing through a long list of videos and you click on one, and then want to go back to the list, you can do that and get back to the place in the list where you were before. But if you had watched the video in full screen mode, you always end up back at the top of the list, so you have to go through the entire scrolling process again.

FACEBOOK CONTAINER

While I nuked my FB account some time ago, FB nevertheless continues to try & track online activity via its "partner sites." This extension helps prevent that.

Excellent article brah

They missed one: Install a profanity filter on your browser. It makes the internet much more pleasant.

Below are links to a good one. You can customize the filtered words. And you can customize replacement words. For example, it can display “Pelosi” as “Pignosey.”

From ad-infested websites to autoplaying videos and an endless array of pop-up provocations, it’s a wonder anyone makes it through the day without going completely berserk.

It doesn’t have to be that way, though.

Nope. You can go to FreeRepublic.com for your news. No ad infestations. No autoplaying videos. No endless array of pop-up provocations.

Here you only go berserk from the daily flood of leftist lunacy infecting our nation.
