Sites with hidden video's

[OGJesse]

Don't you just all love browsing a site, even CNN... when all of the sudden audio starts blasting through your speakers/headphones and you search and search for the tiny video on the site.

WHY DO THEY DO THIS, this is even worse then pop-up ads because those get blocked!

Mute the tab, problem solved.

Yeah, but what if it has audio/video I actually want to listen to.

The video's are legitimate videos, so they won't get removed.

in 75% of the case it does because you do not agree to play them. There is a automation that launches the video's without your approval!

Use uBlock Origin to block the ads, No Script to stop random scripts/videos from starting and use a host file to block ads at the system level too(this will block ads on skype too "http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/" ).
