I have my preferences set to Stop Media with Sound, yet some sites keep playing one video ad after another, why is this happening? I keep having my settings in preferences ignored, whether by Safari, Spotlight, my Magic Mouse, etc, and wish the setting selected would actually do what they say....

I did all that, every one says to stop media with sound, but videos still play.
However, I'm going to to have to see if it's all videos playing, or just ones with no sound. If that's the case, I'll use the stop all auto-play option. But I know I don't want any videos with sound playing without me selecting it/them... I'll check back when I see if the ones still auto-playing are only the silent ones, or if those with sound are still playing..
Why Are Videos Auto-Playing When I Don't Want Them To?
