Yes. I oppose violence in every form.
I used the volume controls for the website in my phone's pulldown menu to stop it, then the music player resumed. Still very much unwanted behavior. Will dig into the page source and see if there's anything hidden.
I'll do some digging in the code and see if I can come up with a custom filter for ublock.
Nope there wasn't anything visible, I've been scrolling up and down to verify. Unless the video was somehow truncated or scaled to 1x1 px or something.
It's a clone of the official Firefox repo stripped of all telemetry.
Hah yeah he could definitely bring that across.
I'm 42 and never heard it before in that context.
I'm in a country specific discord channel where immigrants and wannabes discuss realities of moving.
Recently a bachelor student joined and in every second sentence or so I had to google something to understand what he wants.
From the exchange I learned that if something slaps, it's a good thing apparently.
Never heard of that website, looks like a bunch of gaming related stuff without proper sourcing outside of twitch and tiktok. Are they in any way reliable?
Totally off topic, but I was reading the article on Fennec (mobile Firefox clone) while playing music over Bluetooth to my car. I was parked waiting for someone, not driving. No streaming service, playing honest to god mp3s from my device, when out of the blue I got VPN ads over the speaker.
Fennec indicated that cnet was playing them, but there as was no video box or other audio player widget active, so it looks like they are splicing invisible audio ads in somehow?
I'm also using ublock origin on mobile plus AdAway (rooted), so that's not an easy feat.
Could anyone double check? That's the most obnoxious behavior I've experienced in recent time.

Hi all,
First off: Can't switch to Linux, Windows is a work requirement. Please spare me.
With that out of the way, here's my problem:
Since 2-3 days I've been seeing ads disguised as a minimized video player popup on my Windows 10 Login Screen
.
Initially I thought I might have been watching something on youtube and forgot to close the tab and it autoplayed in the background until reaching this stuff by chance; but that turned out not to be the case (I'm also using Firefox exclusively, which I thought wouldn't integrate with Windows, but I wasn't 100% sure on that end).
I tried to research this a bit, but the only similar case I found was in an old reddit thread saying that some Windows update installed the LinkedIn App for them, which is not the case here.
Antivirus (Bit Defender) and Malwarebytes both give me a clean report.
So I did some more digging and right click that thing with my firewall set to deny all to figure out where this is taking me, and surprise...
There's a total of 100 connection attempts from Windows Search to around 10 different IP addresses, all of which belong to Microsoft.
I have not installed any updates in the last 14 days, no new software, and have not changed any system settings.
What did change is that I am currently not in China, where I normally live, but am on a business trip to Malaysia, where a bunch of services that are blocked in China might be accessible, and are now splicing in those (somewhat disguised) ads.
Does this happen to anyone else, and if so, do you have an idea how to get rid of it?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi all,
Just updated FF to 124.0.1 and now the whatsapp web view is broken. The text input field is somewhere in the upper third of the screen and in the background, overlayed by text boxes so that I can't actually select it. It's automatically selected when switching from one chat to another so I can type there, but only blind in most cases since any comment boxes overlap it.
Tried restarting, clearing cookies, re-authenticating, disabling all plugins, nothing worked.
Does anyone experience something similar and/or know a workaround?
Thanks!
Edit: Fixed by logging out of whatsapp web, clearing cookies, restarting the browser, and then logging back in. Neither of the steps had worked on its own previously, but the combination did the trick.
