My browser extension StopTheMadness Pro stops autoplaying videos and hides Sign in with Google on all sites. It also hides sticky videos and notification requests on many sites.

For more extreme measures, try my Safari extension StopTheScript. It kills JavaScript dead on websites you select. For example, from the blog post, it makes The Guardian readable.

@lapcatsoftware Hi Jeff, can I still install the Pro version on Chrome on Windows like I could with the previous non-Pro?

@weiran No, sorry! StopTheMadness Pro requires native messaging:

Native messaging - Mozilla | MDN

Native messaging enables an extension to exchange messages with a native application, installed on the user's computer. The native messaging serves the extensions without additional accesses over the web.
