Freaky video thing that moves about the pageFollow

I've lapsed on my sub to alla, apparently. But I do run uBlock as well. Since the recent transition to fanbyte, whoever they are, there is a disturbing, weird, video all the time on the right side of my screen. It's disturbing in several ways. It is low res, looks creepy, and is totally irrelevant to EQ.

What's up with this and why has no one else been bothered by this?

What do I need to do to stop from ever seeing this freakish thing ever again? More adblock? Subscribe?

You have become better at ignoring irrelevant crap on your screen (356)

That's my secret.

Do you have a narrow monitor? I'm running 1920x1080, and ZAM doesn't expand to use the whole width. The video box is to the right, and doesn't cover any content I'm looking at. Just ignore it.

I have an inelegant solution. but it works perfectly.

Download the SlimBoat browser here. Only use it for this site. It's an outdated chrome based browser. It's HTML4(?) based and simply won't work for HTML5 scumware ads because old and busted. SlimBoat. Ignore the SlimJet popup.

I use SB on my tablet because it hogs the least amount of memory - with the added and unintended benefit of it blocking all the scuzads here.

Thanks for the ideas! Funny I didn't even think to try different browsers.

If I had any idea what this Fanbyte **** was I'd re-sub but at this point, I'm out. You can only respec loyalty so many times.

You can't even log out of ZAM because the page it requests needs SSL! LOL! What a cluster ****

I haven't yet. I'm happy to see it runs on linux. But the versioning confused me. Are you advocating running the 2015 version 1.1.54 or the 2018 version 21.0.8.0?
