Use uBlock. Either with a list or learn to use the selector tool to remove the overlays/scripts directly. That is what I do for the GF's PC so she can watch YT.
Edit: It looks like an eyedrop tool. So it might also be called that.
I was hoping there is one that works for all pages without needing to select them manually
Fair, but you will be surprised how often people simply revisit the same sites, over and over. You do it once, it is done for life. Also, it takes like 3-4 seconds. It is worth the investment of a few seconds. Or at least, that is what I have found.
