Removing PiP from websites.
Removing PiP from websites.
Increasingly, more websites display a small video at the lower right corner as you scroll down. This intrusive video covers up the text I need to read, which disrupts my experience and forces me to close it manually. I attempted to disable the Picture-in-Picture toggle in Edge but it didn’t help. Using Adblock Plus and Origin to block ads still doesn’t stop these videos. Can you find a way to prevent them from showing? Thanks.
As most people have realized, it doesn't quite fit. While uBlock origin helps with a lot of things, it doesn't block those that are built entirely differently and integrated directly into web pages rather than being added as ads. It's possible this isn't accurate, but based on what I understand, anything that prevents those "move to the corner" video players from functioning will likely also affect the webpage in some way. You can still close them by clicking the small X in a corner, which should resolve the issue for at least one or two link visits.
Edge is a weak browser (I removed it a long time ago). So, consider using another browser that offers better protection against pop-ups, such as Firefox (my main browser) or Chrome (my secondary).
If all else fails, NoScript can help.

I also use Firefox, and although some websites dislike it due to limited features, I personally prefer it. There are valid reasons behind this choice, unrelated to simply not liking Google or Microshaft. Alongside it, I employ uBlock Origin. It functions effectively as long as you maintain updates and avoid visiting inappropriate sites. Additionally, maintaining a weekly backup of your complete operating system image is important—tools like Macrium Reflect or Acronis True Image are suitable options for me.
