A lot of internet publications today have videos in the middle of their articles that have nothing to do with the actual content. Example in this WIRED article here.

I’m wondering if there is an active blocklist for this kind of content? I already have uBlocks “annoyances” all subscribed. These videos slow down the pages and are too numerous to block individually.

      No script breaks so much of the internet. But I guess over time you can make enough rules with it that it mostly works.

      I like NoScript in theory, but I had to stop using it. It broke too many websites to the point of unusability for me. I just stick with uBlock Origin and use the element zapper as needed anymore.

      NoScript is redundant with uBlock medium mode.

      Roughly similar to using Adblock Plus with many filter lists + NoScript with 1st-party scripts/frames automatically trusted. Unlike NoScript however, you can easily point-and-click to block/allow scripts on a per-site basis.
