    Need something to stop Youtube from playing a video after it has been clicked off..

    When we click-off YouTube videos some videos minimize in the lower right of the screen, and continue playing..
    Is there a way, an add-on, a software, a setting, a button to make clicked-off YouTube videos actually click-off the first time they are dumped so they never continue playing?..

    YouTube is good for a lot of news, data, movies, and music, but it's so irritating at times in some ways in being so user unfriendly like during these extinction-days so many things are becoming unfriendly.. Now there's even new breeds of 'karens', 'a Lisa. a Jennifer. a Jessica'... Pretty soon the whole world will be karens.. That'll be a pardy eah.. Or what if everybody was a putin, WhooH!.. I'd jettison this body, and move to another solar system... Are the nukes happening yet..?
    it's probably the microwave baked brains that are making everyone so kookoo...
    Has anyone found an add-on or something that blocks YouTube's irritating unfriendly features..? Weird thing is youtube's bullying features are worsening.. I wonder who is at the helm of all that bullying insanity..? It's like 'a starving lame old lion with a large thorn in its paw'...

    Does anyone know of a way to do music searches in YouTube, blocking all the piano and curved sax in the searches..? If you add 'without piano; in the search, you get only piano... Most of the piano in tunes these days sounds clangy and bangy, like someone enraged is slamming the keys with their fists in a psychotic vengeance way.. and most curved sax sounds these days sounds like a toilet flushing, or like 'someone is being strangled to death under water'...

    Best piano I've heard is in the music video: 'Loved' by Julie True.. Would be nice if commercial piano players learned how to play the instrument with finesse, softness, warmth, and love, instead of sounding like acid-rock war-zone battle-music:

    Maybe I'm just being old fashioned, but I like being old fashioned.. I like the way things used to be, like when visiting America felt like 'coming home'.. Like when most people didn't even lock their doors at night.. but today visiting America feels like you're 'visiting hell's war'.. Back then you could be chatting with an American stranger, and suddenly be invited to dinner.. Now days you're friendly chatting with an American stranger, and he's got his hands on his pistol, mace, and/or knife hidden in his back pockets, or all three...
    I don't like how the world is today.. Everything is: vicious gangs, drugs, moralless unscrupulous conglomerates, greed, lies, crime, deadly drugs, violence, hate, evil, war, lust, suicide, religious terrorism, insanity, devolution, accelerated death.. Now all the children's cartoon, games, and movies are about: crimes, killing, murder, bullying, violence, war, absolute insanity, and the fun art of cheating and stealing... Maybe y'all should toss out the cocaino and them thar computers and phones, and go back to etch-a-sketches, romper-room, smoke-signals, wind-up telephones, growing a garden, and loving each other, before yer all extinct in nine years from that incoming moon-meteorite, war radiation, pestilence, and starvation...

    Did Canada's Liberals, and America's Democrats really say they were gonna charge admission to get into churches on Sundays..? That'll be fun.. It would probably lead to civil war.. ayemen!..
    Maybe there should be a series of civil war video games, one for each country...
    The fiercest ones being the warring Arab states.. (see attached pix)..

    Hi Demanding Truth,

    That mini-player in YouTube?s corner is a built-in feature, but browser extensions like Enhancer for YouTube or tweaks with uBlock Origin can help disable it. There?s no perfect way to force YouTube?s search to exclude instruments ? adding "without piano" often gets ignored, so it helps to focus on terms for what you do want. You might also try third-party tools to refine music searches. Many platforms indeed feel more frustrating these days. Hopefully, with the right tool, we can make the experience a bit less irritating.

    If you want, I can also give you a version that sounds a little more casual or forum-friendly. Just ask!

    Thanks kathlinux.. It's an honor to hear from you...

    I couldn't find a blocker that would do it without blocking everything I want... What are your suggestions please?..
    I've tried wording the searches various ways.. It doesn't work.. I still am assaulted by piano... I requested google and youtube offer searches void of piano.. They did the opposite.. They added more piano in their searches like it was a cocaino-enhanced cristian-inquisition vendetta...

    It seems there's no way to block piano-crap in searches, in technology's present primitive neanderthal state of affairs.. I'm giving up on the internet.. I haven't sent an email for three weeks.. Everything in the inbox I delete without opening.. microstuft has made computer world and the internet its own private asylum war-zone ('putinsoft')...

    I'm wondering how one would write-up firewall software that treats youtube piano searches and piano content like the ear-stinging virus-turd it is..? The damn piano abomination is just a harp that someone set on its side to bang on the strings with soft hammers like an infant banging with a wooden spoon on the pots and pans it pulled out of the kitchen cupboard.. Piano clunking is disgusting, irritating, offensive, and nauseating... I search youtube for peaceful, sleep, thinking, spirit, calm, meditative, magician music.. Most of what's offered is infested and possessed by piano, like listening to the sounds originating from a bloody war zone, like this crap:

    youtube.com/watch?v=IYd1-cPwQCk

    youtube.com/watch?v=IqGh8nNw7Gs

    How could one sleep, meditate, or think with all that horrid whining, screeching, bellering, clunking, and/or piano hammering, clanging, banging crap, when one is searching for:

    Maybe if I nag and bidge in the right places we might one day get a 'piano firewall', but probably not in my lifetime...
    I have this vision of setting-up a polished pearl-finished gilded grand piano in a farm field at a fun drunken freeforall biker party.. Filling it up with five gallons of gasoline and 10 sticks of 70% B-line connected dynamite, and have a pretty little porn star biker lassy light the long fuse at sunset, ear protectors optional.. I do so enjoy playing with dynamite.. Best darn firecrackers you can buy...
