    Non closable video playing on the bottom right

    It feels like the advertising on the site is getting more intrusive but, in particular, I get some sort of video window playing on the bottom right of the screen. It's got an x on the top right to close it but it doesn't actually close. I reckon it probably shows up once in every 5 or 6 threads I open and it's really annoying.

    (There's also a banner across the bottom that's quite intrusive but at least that's closable.)

    The "X" (close player button) works for me. Course it comes back when I go to a different thread.

    Adblock Plus kills it all the time. (which is why I haven't seen the video till just now)

    Doesn't work for me, doesn't appear to register the click. It also looks like it's greyed out, but that might just be the intended coloration.

    FWIW, I'm using Edge. (Don't hate me)

    I was an IE hold out for a lot longer than many people.... AND I used the BING search engine even longer. It's only been in the last few months that I started using Google.... I like their AI Mode.
