Auto-play noisy ad.

We seem to have an auto-playing noisy ad. in the "mid-forum" position at the moment.

"Tavy" advertising Nicorette.

Ublock Origin is the one now.

And now it's "Tony" advertising Nicorette.

And Croatian tourism.

I can live with ads. but not noisy ones.

The third-party ad company put the noisy ones in on the weekends as they know no-one from PH will tell them off until Monday.

PH's attitude to adverts and the low regard with which they clearly hold their user base is why I block all the ads now.

And I've just installed a blocker too.

uBlock Origin for Chrome is the most efficient and least-disruptive of page loads that I've found. Welcome to the web as it should be - peace and quiet, no flashing GIFs, no pop-overs, link-forwarding or malvertising....

Combine that with Privacy Badger from EFF and you're good to go.

"Tell them off" is being a bit generous I feel.
