Ublock Origin has a few ways to do what you want. The most straightforward way is to click on the extension icon, click open dashboard, go to filter lists, scroll to annoyances, and try to enable some or all of those.
Ublock Origin also has a "nuclear" option called disabling JavaScript (extension icon -> JavaScript and reload), which happens to break video playback on just about every modern website :) .
uBlock also has the "eyedropper" (idk its proper name) that you can use to pick css blocks on the page and preview what it looks like with that block removed. If you find the block for the content you want to remove, you can save it so that future instances of that block just won't load in the first place. Works great for embedded chats and those annoying mid-article newsletter sign up flyovers.
