Hello Gator

If you want, I can forward you some ads I received in email. Apparently those products are so good, they can enlarge parts you don't even have!

@Clarity I can't collect any relevant info (or even scroll to the problem as) because it quickly freezes the tab, but about a half dozen times in the last few days I've been slammed with a bunch of simultaneous autoplay audio ads (there may be video but I never make it that far ).

I think it's advertising shampoo or detergent or some sort of softener. One starts playing in a guys voice, then another starts a split second later. It's hard to tell if there's a third or if it's just so obnoxious that it seems like more.

Also, about 5-10 seconds into this, an autoplay video starts separately about national signing day being behind us, giving at least three concurrent ads. I've only seen the mid page ads and it doesn't seem to relate to the ad photos there.

It also only seems to happen in one tab at a time and not consistently.

This happens on windows in chrome.

In the past few days I have gotten audible ads with almost every new page. This is a major annoyance because I enjoy listening to music while reading forum content. The ads can be in several locations so finding them to mute them is a chore itself.

@Clarity

Mucinex ad is autoplaying on almost every page load. This is all I could get via F12

It's not hard to find. I'd say it autoplays about 75-85% of the time.

Having the same issue. @Clarity

Had some autoplay too today. I just muted the tab, but it may have been mucinex.

Same problem with JetDry, but I was able to scroll over it and pause when the vid controls appeared.

Is there some commonality in terms of which spot or type most often causes it? 300x250 "box" ads, or the top or bottom leaderboard?

Sorry, I know I'm late to the game here.
