I noticed this too, about two weeks ago, there was an update, either a new OS, or else a major patch that was applied. Immediately, I noticed that anytime I scrolled past the video player, it would shunt into a PVP and keep scrolling down the screen with me, even if I paused it. You can stop it and shut the video window, but it’s an inconvenience because I you never had to in the past.

Around the same time, all of the ads I began seeing online took a decided turn for the extreme right wing reactionary. I doubt that’s related, it’s just that I’ve been forced to look at it now since the video player scrolls down the screen with me anymore.

Lots more ads. I had minimal ad blockers in place, the less on my hardware the better, it runs faster that way, but this update obviously was intended to defeat a lot of the blockers, so ick.
