This is not a separate window, but a regular modal on the site. Works through js, it is impossible to disable it from the browser, except to cut it with some adblock or disable scripts
Adblock Plus.
After installing it, no annoying ads or unwanted videos appear anymore.
everything can be turned off.
Solution for Firefox:
1) Disable Autoplay via settings.
2) Install add-ons:

Next, play with these two extensions.
Through uBlock origin, you can immediately block this pop-up div with an eyedropper as an option. umatrix will block by default all scripts that are not from the site, which will also be a plus.
