When loading up HIDIVE, a small popup shows up for the cookies, which is usually fine, but doesn't disappear when the video is playing!
Reports of the issue:
- How do I get rid of this annoying shield? - Reddit
- Is there a way to hide the Up Next and Cookies button? - Reddit
- How do I get rid of this Cookie Settings shield thing in corner? - Reddit
To fix this, I have created a Chrome extension to remove the pop-up when a video is playing.
This extension works on any Chromium browser so feel free to use it on other chromium supported browers!
Click the green "Code" button on this page and download, either using GIT or simply downloading the ZIP!
If you downloaded the zip, please extract it to a safe place on your system.
You will need to access your extension page in your browser and enable developer tools.
Some supporting browser extension page links are as follows:
- Chrome: chrome://extensions/
- Edge: edge://extensions/
Find the "developer tools" in your extension page (there should be a toggle for it somewhere)
A newly loaded "Load unpacked" button should've appeared on the top of your page for extensions now!
Select this and then select the extension folder in this project.
This should now have added the extension to your browser for use!
You can toggle this extension by simply activating it or deactivating it in your extension browser.
