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
- Install an ad blocker extension in your browser, such as:
- uBlock Origin (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
- AdBlock Plus (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
- Ghostery (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
- Make sure the ad blocker is enabled and set to block all ads, including videos.
Method 2: Pop-up Blocker
- 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
- This will block most popup videos, but some may still get through.
Method 3: Browser Extensions
- Install a browser extension specifically designed to block popup videos, such as:
- Video Blocker (Chrome, Firefox)
- Popup Video Blocker (Chrome)
- NoVideo (Chrome, Firefox)
- Configure the extension to block popup videos on Daily Mail websites.
Method 4: Browser Settings
- 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
- This will block all videos on Daily Mail websites, not just popup videos.
Method 5: Use a VPN
- Consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to mask your IP address and prevent Daily Mail from tracking your browsing behavior.
- 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.
