Any way to block Youtube Annotations?

[Sr. Normal]

Hi

I'm trying to eliminate those annoying boxes that appear in some videos from youtube. I tested with several extensions and, no, I'm not crazy, I put them all together so you can see who fail to stop advertising. Obviously I tried them separately with any positive results

I also copied these orders to Javascript console, but those ads continue to appear: document.cookie="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=oKckVSqvaGw; path=/; domain=.youtube.com";window.location.reload();

Do you know what to do for remove them permanently?

Thanks in advance

You mean the annotations?... if you do then you can click on the settings cogwheel and then turn them off manually. I also use this addon: YouTube High Definition for Firefox and it has an option to turn them off automatically too.
Edit: Found out you can add this filter "youtube.com/annotations_" to turn them off on adblock and such.

Are you sure those are not annotations that have been added by the uploader? Go to the settings icon on the YouTube video (bottom right corner) then turn off the "Annotations" (slides to an off position with no red colour filling the bar).

@Butterfly and @SkyJP Thanks!

That was. The annotations, I disabled them as you have told me and nowis perfect.

Thank you both, something so simple and so unknown for me.

Why so much ad blockers ? uBlock Origin is quite enough for me and it works well

I am using Adblock Origin and used AdGuard and didn't have those problems. Did you enabled all required filters in settings?

It's not Advertising, it's a feature of YouTube called Annotations. It can be disabled via 2 different ways.

1. If you do not have a Google Account.

2. If you do have a Google Account, then Login. Uncheck "Show annotations..." (YouTube)

About a year ago a friend introduced me to a chrome extension called Magic Actions for YT and I have used it ever since. I try to keep my browser add-ons to a minimum but now I can't even go on YT without it. I basically set it so every YT vid I open is automatically at 1080p (goes to 720p if uploaded in 720p and so on), YouTube is made into a dark grey version (like the dark MTips theme), Auto hide ads, Auto disable annotations, Auto wide mode (or auto fullscreen) and stop autoplay (I like to open all my videos in a new tab then go through and watch them all) that feature just saves me having to go through them all and pause them at the beginning.


tl;dr - I use Magic Actions, it'll disable annotations automatically and much more.

Hi friends, Thank you all for answer

@Malware Test I just use ublock Origin, the others are to show which did not stop the (I did not know the name ) annotations

@BoraMurdar I have it with the values of the developer. I have not added or deleted anything in the configuration. I also had ublock Origin with AdGuard, but I not remember why disable AdGuard of my extensions. My memory is not what it was ...

@Huracan You show me a simple graphical way to resolve this discomfort. (If you knew how long I've been removing the annotations by hand, one by one ... )

@ryb0rg Magic Actions for Chrome It is the option that more I liked . Probably because I'm very lazy . You have many options (volume, quality of viewing, annotations, day or night mode ...) I recommend try it, it's really convenient to have it on your computer. If you see videos on youtube assiduously

Thanks all again.I had a doubt and I now have several solutions. I love it. Have a nice day!
