  • 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.
