As I mentioned previously, install the Ghostery extension into chrome. You will never have to worry about such things again.
If only it were that simple. Can't install anything on the work computers. Also if I'm using my iPod or iPad at home, that's not an option.As I mentioned previously, install the Ghostery extension into chrome. You will never have to worry about such things again.
When this problem first cropped up, I installed AdBlockerPlus. No problems since then.Here we go again... I've been using uBlock Origin for a while now and it was doing really well. Now I am back to having these (*^@($^*^#R*&^% videos just starting to play as I browse DIS.
Would appreciate webmasters curbing this and responding here.

Guilty? Not me!!Interestingly, I started feeling guilty about blocking ads, because I'm stealing revenue from sites I use. So I uninstalled adblocker. But I still wasn't seeing ads on DISBoards. It appears Blur also prevents ads, but apparently only on DISBoards. I think it has to do with blocking tracking cookies.
I don't really have an issue with static low rez images. The issue is high bandwidth animations/video that slow the site/page down. Some of the click bait is causing browsers to crash. At least they aren't replacing pixie dust with passion dust yet.Interestingly, I started feeling guilty about blocking ads, because I'm stealing revenue from sites I use

So many of them create ads that are SO DISRUPTIVE -- that's on them, in my book. You're a nicer person than I!
