Answer 1

Use this in an extension

$("div.video-annotations").css("display", "none");

Or this in Stylebot extension

Answer 2

Cheers. Wanted to remove the annotations as well from the embedded Youtube video's. Just added &iv_load_policy=3 to the end of the videos URL. Works like a charms :D

You can only use the iv_load_policy when embedding videos using one of the player apis - you can't just change the youtube watch page url.

For example, if you wanted to embed the video you linked above without annotations, you could use this link: http://www.youtube.com/embed/87kezJTpyMI?hd=1&iv_load_policy=3
