Auto play video ads

[Michael Alan Goff]

I don't like them. I'll be trying watch something on YouTube, and they just start making sound. Also, the site seems to be lagging when I'm making this post. The keyboard will suddenly type out 2-3 words in a lagged mess.

Can you tell me which ad autoplayed for you? Screenshot and any other specifics would be helpful. Thanks!

Verizon Wireless video ad on the side. I'd screenshot it, but it's not on the side right now (which is good). If it comes up again, I will.

Yeah, that's the one that offended me this morning. New system OS install, so I just closed the page and installed AdBlockPlus. Gone when I returned.

I really prefer not to have to use AdBlockPlus, but those types of ads really eat into my data, as I have to tether with my phone to get internet.

@Michael Allen Goff - thank you!

Ads have started auto-loading for me too, first time today, or maybe it's the first time I've also had my speakers switched on!
Have selected the option to Opt-Out of video, so hopefully that'll stop it, else I will install AdBlockPlus!
