I dont know about anyone else but they annoy the out of me, there like a form of spam you cant get rid of and usually contain the most retarded comments....of course you can turn them off EVERYTIME you watch a vid...but this way you never see them.

So if like me you want to get rid of them here is how.

You'll need to be using Firefow and have adblock installed for this to work...

* first you need to be browsing using firefox with the adblock plus extension installed

* open youtube and visit any video page that you know has annotations

* right click the adblock plus icon

* click 'open blockable items' on the context menu

* type in 'module' in the search bar window that open at bottom of browser tab and press enter

* right click the result* that comes up and select 'block this items'

* close the 'open blockable item window' and reload page

* result should look something like this :

http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/iv_module-vfl68978.swf <- block it!!

Heres a clip if you want to try it and get rid of them:

stupidest fn thing google has ever done if you ask me

Worked great for that video Dags! Cheers.

Does it mean it will block all future annotations on other videos as well?

I'm guessing we can wildcard the module to something like this? http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/iv_module-vfl* or wouldnt that work?

Pretty sure it works for all of them....

I tried a couple none came up and had a little cross on the tab that turns it off manually.

Good work Dags, those things are bloody annoying.

I just added a custom filter of http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/*module*.swf to make sure I never see those things again, seems to be working so far.

Thanks dags

or just click My Account, then, Playback Settings -> annotations, then just uncheck "Show Annotations".

Always worked 4 me

edit: Then make sure you click save changes
