Anyone having the page "jump" or refuse to scroll? [View all]

I suspect some of the ads are trying to grab window focus and interfering with scrolling by trying to remain onscreen.

This, and I'm starting to get annoying audio ads that play automatically.

Yes, I know "buy a membership to remove the ads". But I'm happy to see the ads. I just don't want them to actively mess with me by forcing the page focus on them or making sounds.

Specifically, the one doing both of these things is "Centerpoint Energy". It grabs the page back to put it at the top, then it says "my video will play in (howevermany) seconds, then the "video" is the same commercial, this time with sound that plays automatically. Usually, I can hide an ad, but this one won't let me.

the ads rotate, so if you refresh the page, you'll get a different ad unblock May 2017 #1
