Granted, I am not sure what sites you wish to visit.
still, because lynx in its updated form mirrors the functions of some
mobile platforms, you might be amazed how well sites display with it.
especially the m. editions. Web designers are understanding that there
are still some people who are

Last time I checked, most sites don't display properly with lynx because
they are not designed for text-based browses. All on the contrary, most
web sites are full of useless images, but nonetheless, not displaying
them breaks those sites.

It depends. In the case of the yahoo video mentioned above, the video
is served up from yahoo.com, so it isn't blocked unles

Okay so upon further reading it seems that it doesn't auto-play, but

However, with noscript enabled and yahoo blocked (I had to do that
manually by pressing the icon), the video does not play.

Interestingly, I would say that this is one of those cases that makes
the case for trademark. I cannot keep Adblock, Adblock Plus, uBlock, and
uBlock origin straight, and neither can most people.

I would say uBlock Origin -- it seems to be a better option to uBlock
from what I've heard.

Tor adds overhead because it is another layer of encapsulation (on top
of TCP/IP), it adds padding to messages (to improve confidentiality),
and it needs to transmit extra data because of its cryptographic design
(signatures, MAC, public keys). It doesn't seems like a good approach

NoScript will block the videos (you will want to configure it). You'll
also want AdBlock. Also go into Perferences in Firefox and set it up
for the most restrictive configuration you can tolerate.

It seems like NoScript will do the job. I think that it allows YouTube
by default once installed, but you can easily disable it after
installing (along with the other sites it enables by default). Since
most sites depend on JavaScript to embed videos, that will block most of
them. I don't know
