+1 for me too hating videos that starts when not asked for. Sometimes you happen to read on a page and paf! A video starts somewhere else on that page. Then you "panick" trying to shut it and nothing works. So now I gave up and my sound on my laptop is always at "off". If I need it, I crank it up a notch or more. And those ads that they ad before and are louder than the video itself. My pet peeve. argggh
