I Hate Popups but I Love Videos

About

Keep the videos you love. Block the popups you hate.

This extension helps you save the ordinary video and audio files your browser already loads as you watch, and clears away the malicious popups, redirect overlays, and notification prompts that constantly interrupt video pages. Two everyday annoyances, one lightweight tool.

SAVE VIDEO & MEDIA

• One-click media saving - When a page serves an ordinary, savable video or audio file, a quick button lets you save it straight to your device.

• Direct files & HLS streams - Detects standard media files and HLS playlists the browser already loads, so you can keep a local copy of the media you have the right to save.

• Saved list - Build a local list of the items you saved so you can find them again later, without searching all over.

• Current-tab focus - See what was detected on the page you are viewing, with an option to review other open tabs.

BLOCK POPUPS & CLEAN UP VIDEO PAGES

• Popup & overlay blocking - Stops malicious popups, forced new tabs, click overlays, notification permission prompts, and cookie banners that interrupt playback.

• Site whitelist - Keep blocking on by default, then allow trusted sites that genuinely need their own windows or overlays.

• Cleaner viewing - Fewer distractions around embedded players so you can actually watch the video.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Play the video on the page so the media can be detected.
2. Use the save button that appears over supported videos, or open the extension from the toolbar.
3. Choose a detected item and save it to your device.
4. Malicious popups and overlays are blocked automatically on supported pages.
5. Add trusted sites to the whitelist when you want popup blocking disabled.

SETTINGS

• Turn popup and overlay blocking on or off per site
• Manage the popup-block whitelist
• Block notification permission prompts
• Hide common cookie consent banners
• Show detections from the current tab or all tabs
• Choose the extension language

IMPORTANT

This extension works only with ordinary media that the browser can detect from normal page requests, and is intended for media you own or are authorized to save. It does NOT support, target, or work with any streaming platform, and it does not support DRM-protected media, paywalled media, or content behind technical access restrictions.
