• prevent to intercept Y (for embed URL) when typing inside an input control
• hide by default all the page IFRAMEs
• periodically check the page for
• • elements to remove
• • skip buttons to click
• • try to mute video when an AD is visualized

TODO:

• make video silencing work, when there are ADs, and restore it when ADs end
