Exactly for the ones that do not work in html5 go with Chrome.

I would go with the official web site.
https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php
Could try the ublock origin plugin/extension for Chrome other than that no clue I can count on one hand I think the number of videos I have watched on there this or any other on a per yearly basis, but that is definitely the one to get rid of the popups.
Absolutely no clue there I use that for exactly one site where I have two logins for different versions of my credits cards with them, the only browser for a Mac that will allow you to do that.
Yes, seems to be one of the best. Tried all over the past months, settled with Adguard.
I've just downloaded it
How do I know if it's running? I can't see it inning safari toolbar or anything
Double click on the downloaded file (Adguard-2.5.11.safariextz).
You will see a small shield in Safari Toolbar.
Click on the small shield, then go to Adguard settings.
If you are there, I'll walk you through the settings.

Hey I don't see the small shield in the safari toolbar however I see it on my toolbar on my Mac where spotlight search...time...battery level are....
I don't know why it's not showing on my safari toolbar however?
What settings should I have because I allowed everything...
Most probably you downloaded the Adguard standalone app, not the Safari extension.
To install the Safari extension you have to scroll down on the page I have linked, until you see a yellow link saying: "Install Adguard 1.3 MB, browser extension". Click on it. Then double click on the the downloaded file (Adguard-2.5.11.safariextz).
P.S.: Before installing the Safari extension, you might want to uninstall the standalone Adguard app.

I've done what you said...can you walk me through the settings then please?

Hmmm the standalone app seems to do more but not sure how accurate it is....
What settings do you recommend?
Ok. Click on the small shield in Safari Toolbar, then on Adguard settings.
Here:
"General Settings" section - turn all 3 options to OFF.
"Ad Blocker" section - click on "All Filters" (Green), and there set the following Filters ON: "English Filter", "Spyware Filter", "EasyPrivacy", "Fanboy's Annoyances", "Anti-Adblock Killer/Reek", "I don't care about cookies", "Prebake".
"Browsing security" section"- only "Phishing and malware protection" is ON.
"Whitelist" section" - "Invert whitelist" is OFF.
"Miscellaneous" section - everything is OFF.
This is so weird
Some of the options I don't have
I don't have the 'Miscellaneous' section
Also with the 'Ad blocker' section I could only turn on English filter, spyware filter, annoyances filter and safari filter.
The other things you mentioned are not on there...?
Nope I have the extension
I did exactly what you said
When you click on 'all filters'
The list I have is
English filter, spyware filter, social media filter, annoyances filter, then it goes to Russian filter, German filler etc....
Okay.
In "All Filters" scroll down and you will see "EasyList", click on it, another list of filters will appear. Then on "Other".
