Something I recently observed on youtube:when a video is loading, and you switch to another tab (unfocus), suddenly the youtube video stops loading and starts playing. (at least for a very short moment)The audio from it distracts you enough and since you don't want to miss the video playing you instinctively switch back.This should be illegal.#google #youtube #illegal

@lw64 I've never seen this behavior myself, is it playing the video or did it start playing the ad?

@BrodieOnLinux I use ublock, so no ads. just the video.

@lw64 Maybe an artifact of ublock removing content, I've never seen it and I use youtube premium

@BrodieOnLinux its very easy to try out, whenever a video is loading, switch to another tab and listen if it suddenly starts playing for a moment.

@BrodieOnLinux if you have a slow enough connection it would load right again.
