How to disable / Enable plugins?

We are creating a web application. In there, we would like to disable some plugins installed in the user's browser when the user visit out site, such as video downloaders. Is there anyway we can do using PHP, JavaScript, Java, ASP or whatever other technology? If there is, even though we disable it, will the user be able to enable it by browser settings?

I have seen some

Please help.

No, there's no way to do that. But you can make your videos harder to download, for example use temporary video urls, or rewriting your urls.

No I don't think there's really any way around this. Basically you would be controlling their browser (an application on their computer). This is a violation of security and privacy to control someone else's computer in this way.

You can have your site attempt to shut down if it detects such actions, but the technical burden is on your shoulders.
