I hate it when I go to full screen and one of my (100s of) tabs has a youtube short that thinks "Oh, time to start playing again!"

Now I'll have paused tabs start making noise and I won't be able to find it until the ad is over.

That’s your fault for having 100s of tabs open.

Seriously. What’s wrong with you?
