Best way to address the annoying YouTube pop-up window.

by

The new pop-up window for YouTube videos is very annoying, but this can be addressed easily for now.

Annoying YouTube pop-up that gets in the way.

This simple filter for uBlock Origin seems to fix this for now. It blocks the pop-up and you can scroll the page. Tested with Chromium browser.

Also, ensure you go into the uBlock Origin Dashboard->Filter Lists, Purge all caches, and then Update now. This will take care of this annoying pop-up and save your sanity.

Then, go to Settings->I am an advanced user, tick the box, and then click the gears to open the configuration dialog. When it opens, you will see this.

Edit this value to 1.

autoUpdatePeriod 1

This will change the auto-update value for filters to every hour. This is optimal. This is how I managed to address this annoyance for now.
