      I got a video that started playing which only had an arrow to expand but no x to close. It kept following while scrolling.

      Not sure why my ad blocker didn’t block it.

      Edit: after staying on the page for about a minute it just auto showed up

        Ah, i have it set to block 3rd party frames (anywhere, since almost only ad stuff uses this) and 3rd-party scripts (on mobile, breaks some things), probably that’s why.

            huh, not showing up on mine. same setup: fennec with ublock origin.

            i do have more blocklists than default selected in the settings though. the annoyances and cookie banner ones are specially good.

              Oh hang on. My ad blocker was disabled. I turned it off to test something because my browser kept hanging when surfing the web on my phone.

              It is related to ublock origin for some reason. Because the moment I turn it off I can browse like normal.

              Case solved why I’m getting it :)
