Software or browser extensions designed to suppress unsolicited advertising displays or other intrusive windows that appear while accessing content on the video-sharing platform are widely available. An example of this technology is a browser add-on that prevents the automatic opening of new tabs displaying advertisements when a user clicks on a video link.
The significance of these tools lies in their ability to enhance the user experience by minimizing distractions and improving page loading times. Historically, as online advertising practices have become more aggressive, the demand for methods to control these interruptions has increased, leading to the development and widespread adoption of these solutions. These technologies are also important for conserving bandwidth and potentially reducing exposure to malicious content often associated with intrusive advertisements.
