 * Free the VIDEO elements: get rid of overlays, and enable the native controls.
 *
 * Useful on https://www.instagram.com/ where the stupid overlays prevent
 * showing the controls and triggering the context menu, so you don’t know how
 * long the video will take and can't play the video in full screen mode.
