I've installed Ad Block Edge and Ghostery and tried another blocker called uBlock. I installed a giant host file I found on the PCLinuxOS forums.
Annoying videos on Yahoo news continue to start and run whereas this wasn't happening a couple of weeks ago. I may have solved the problem a long time ago (or not) but the videos are present and I'd appreciate some assistance on making them go away.
I did a search and it seems some people want to do just the opposite of what I want to do. They want to get the yahoo news videos back.
I want them gone or at least not self starting.
Distribution: Lubuntu, Raspbian, Openelec, messing with others.

Rep:
I don't visit Yahoo often, so this is more of a question. What format are the video's? I am wondering as things go to HTML5, if there is a setting somewhere that disables autostart (or are we going to be seeing more of this)?
