Greasy Fork is available in English.
Disable/remove non browser native video overlays on web pages. This script applies on all sites by default, and must be manually configured to exclude specific sites. Note: this is a somewhat aggresive blocker, where it may break site functionality.
< Feedback on Disable Video Popouts
Well, the script basically relies on the presence of a VIDEO element, and whether it is contained within an element which is placed at fixed position. That is the basic idea of a video popout feature. However, websites can put anything else within that fixed-location element.
Can you provide an example page URL? Perhaps there's a way to implement a better popout detection.
Do you mean an example of the page I wish to block the video pop out? If so then www.collider.com is the one I wish to use it on.
The script also blocks full screen video on several sites, such as at https://www.independent.co.uk/ (specifically https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/stonehaven-train-derailment-deaths-today-latest-scotland-sturgeon-aberdeen-a9666731.html). It happens on other websites too, but I don't remember them now.
I thought something was wrong with Chrome as it suddenly couldn't go to full screen when watching videos. It turned out to be this script. So the script seems to be a bit too simple. Would be nice if it could distinguish between small videos and full screen videos.
Images blocked too
Hey I just installed this script and it's blocking the video overlay on the site that I wanted however it seems to also block some images.
