How does one get rid of the popup video ads that seem to be the new rage of news stations and papers.
They have no down arrow or 'X' to get rid of them.
Right clicking sometimes allows for your ad blocker to stop that ad but scroll and it reappears.
Two examles I ran up on today:
Tennessean.com, WCNC.com

Re: Popup video ads
Ublock Origin has a setting to "block media elements larger than" a certain number of kb. If you set this, I think it will block those video ads. It will block other video and large images too depending on what number you pick. On a site you want to allow, click the ublock origin icon and click the filmstrip icon to make it not red.

I just visited both of those sites and got no popups. I was on each site for a couple of minutes. How fast after getting on those sites do you start seeing those popups.
I tested them using only ublock addon... also, in Options/Privacy-security/Permissions... are you blocking popups?
