       Just made the horrifying discovery that while the UK Channel 4 website will now play content with Firefox (with ad blocking turned off), they'll pause the adverts when you change to another tab.Determinedly making the experience of watching content online more unpleasant than watching it on a "real" TV. At least the ads don't pause if you go put the kettle on during an ad break there.

       @mattonthehill do they pause the actual show when you switch tabs too?

       @cbowdon It does not appear so.I did discover you can turn the adblock back on during the adverts, and it will skip the remaining ones, which is nice when it's a four(!!!) minute ad break.Still, some of the older content still insists on using Flash, so I'm grateful it works at all.

       @mattonthehill true, better than nothing.
