I thought it was a fluke when it happened earlier. An ad started playing when I went to a forum. Thought maybe I hit play by accident.
It just happened again. Apparently DF is now serving up video ads that autoplay?

Sorry, guys. I love you so much. But I won't patronize a site that does that. Keep it up and I'm out.

Well if they're testing it out, how do we let chrome know it's a bad idea?

This is only happening on your phone while in Chrome and visiting DF? I use Tapatalk and had this happening, but found it was actually another app, an audio streaming app, that was causing these to pop up in Tapatalk among other apps. When I deleted the streaming app, the pop up audio and video ads disappeared.

No, on PC. I don't think Google is behind it.

Hope it doesn't happen again PereDroid... That would annoy me too!
