How to block daily mail popup videos

Those pesky popup videos! Here are a few ways to block Daily Mail popup videos:

Method 1: AdBlocker

  1. Install an ad blocker extension in your browser, such as:
    • uBlock Origin (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
    • AdBlock Plus (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
    • Ghostery (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
  2. Make sure the ad blocker is enabled and set to block all ads, including videos.

Method 2: Pop-up Blocker

  1. Enable the pop-up blocker in your browser:
    • Chrome: Go to Settings > Site settings > Pop-ups and redirects > Block (pop-ups and redirects)
    • Firefox: Go to Options > Content > Pop-ups > Block pop-up windows
    • Edge: Go to Settings > View advanced settings > Block pop-ups
  2. This will block most popup videos, but some may still get through.

Method 3: Browser Extensions

  1. Install a browser extension specifically designed to block popup videos, such as:
    • Video Blocker (Chrome, Firefox)
    • Popup Video Blocker (Chrome)
    • NoVideo (Chrome, Firefox)
  2. Configure the extension to block popup videos on Daily Mail websites.

Method 4: Browser Settings

  1. Change your browser settings to block videos:
    • Chrome: Go to Settings > Site settings > Media > Block (videos)
    • Firefox: Go to Options > Content > Media > Block videos
    • Edge: Go to Settings > View advanced settings > Block videos
  2. This will block all videos on Daily Mail websites, not just popup videos.

Method 5: Use a VPN

  1. Consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to mask your IP address and prevent Daily Mail from tracking your browsing behavior.
  2. Some VPNs, like ExpressVPN or NordVPN, offer ad-blocking features as part of their service.

Remember that these methods may not be 100% effective, as popup videos can be designed to bypass ad blockers and pop-up blockers. However, they should help reduce the number of popup videos you encounter on Daily Mail websites.
