A few hours ago both chromium and firefox started playing videos, both
youtube and elsewhere.

Two updates have been installed, one related to java and the other 
related to png, (isn't png a graphics format?) which may have been
influential.

It does appear that YouTube viewed with Chromium can force ads onto 
the screen, even with uBlock.origin Lite installed. On firefox, youtube
plays correctly and I'm not seeing ads with uBlock Origin, at least for now.

Thanks to all for paying attention!
