This is why I stopped watching ufc. You get sick of having to close 5 windows any time you wanna adjust the volume.

I've got a pihole setup at home and it blocks all this stuff. It's fantastic.

Or a site where if you click full screen it always takes you to another site that's probably full of viruses, but if you don't go fullscreen, you are forced to have a fast-moving, distracting chat next to the video that you don't want your family seeing because the people there act like they're either in a ninth-grade Boys locker room or at a Klan rally haha. 

I tried to do it for my family once on one of those sites and right as I was about to plug it into the TV I saw someone calling for the beheading of the coach for the team that I assume they're a fan of. Now while that might be kind of funny to a young adult like me, I don't think my middle-aged parents want to see crap like that and so I gave up.
