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 just saw your other extensions. Kinda wish there was a bundle-deal option on the appstore. These are great! Thanks for making the internet more usable!

@lapcatsoftware @daringfireball I’ve taken to actually reading the domain name of search results to avoid publications. I hit cmd+w the second an ad blocks my view of the content. I’ve configured some sites I can’t avoid to use Reader Mode by default. I wouldn’t be able to tell you what they looked like, I haven’t seen them in years.

@lapcatsoftware I like StopTheScript conceptually, but I wish there was a way to stop JavaScript by default with an option to easily whitelist sites that break.

@heygarrett That depends on the Safari built-in extensions website permissions system.
But I’ve personally tried disabling JS by default more than once and always abandoned it because too many websites break. It’s a good idea in theory that unfortunately seems impractical.

@lapcatsoftware There's another app, JavaSnipt, that works the way I described. But unfortunately it was a bit buggy on macOS wouldn't reliably unblock JavaScript with a refresh of the webpage as it described. Worked great on iOS though!

@heygarrett It doesn’t stop inline JS, only externally loaded JS.
