    There is a way of changing

    There is a way of changing settings, at least in Firefox, that prevents ads from autoplaying. There’s nothing worse (there probably is) than a voice shouting at you from an unknown source that you then have to seek out and turn off.

    Here’s one method.

    And we do try to stop them,

    And we do try to stop them, we really don’t want them either, but the advertisers (or more precisely – their agencies)  are constantly working to stay one step ahead of us. There have been multiple articles explaining this situation on the site and to keep you aware of our efforts and understanding and there’s a specific page for your to report these annoying intrusions here, so please do report them, we’re as annoyed by them as you are!

     

    Thanks for your understanding.

    But if it weren’t for them we wouldn’t have all the new threads to make that same point, and they are just a joy.
