The last time I had a similar problem I had left a chrome tab active on a page that auto played adverts.
Wow, that's perverted. Forcing the screen on to display the adverts.
Not at all. If I have any video running in a browser tab I want to the screen to stay on. Unfortunately that includes adverts as well. But that's where a sane ad blocker comes to play.
You are right, it is difficult to determine if the video is the main objective of the page (like youtube) or it comes inside an advert and is thus secondary. It is also difficult to convince a browser to not run any videos on page load. Yes, an ad blocker works - mostly, although some pages refuse to load if they detect it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
