PopUp Video Window displaying with Block PopUp windows enabled

When I go to website nypost.com, and select a random article that has a video display at the top of that page, a pop up of a smaller video window appears in the lower right corner of the screen.

For example,

Go to nypost.com Select an article with a video such as https://nypost.com/2024/01/30/metro/phony-uber-driver-charged-with-ripping-off-nyc-bar-patrons-in-cellphone-scheme/

There is a pop window of a smaller video screen that shows in the lower right corner

Autoplay is disabled

Is there a specific setting to stop this functionality of the pop up video window to appear? Is the block pop up window functionality in the same category of this description supplied above?

Thank you.

Those are sticky elements and not traditional popup windows.

You can hide them on NYPost by installing uBlock Origin and in the "Filter lists" section, enabling the "Annoyances" filters for AdGuard and EasyList.
