    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.

            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 :)

                I managed to work around it by unchecking “wait with pageload until all the blocklist are loaded” in ublock origin. Seems to work like normal now, though I’m unsure if that is actually a fix. I guess it might have some negative side effects like some ads coming through.
