Videos on magazine daily comps - help pleaseH

Options
Hello,


I used to be able to have several screens open and let the videos at the end of the magazine daily comps run at the same time. Now, the websites seem to know I'm doing this and will not finish the video until I have actually watched it.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it or is this just technology catching up with me?


Many thanks in advance and happy comping!

    They have now programmed it so you have to watch the full video to enter - if you open another tab or page the video will pause until you go back to it.

    I open up a new browser and let the videos run one at a time while I continue on the new one. It's only Marie Claire that I get them on.

    I have the sound off too.

    I usually have three where I have to watch a video. Yesterday on one mag daily I had two videos before I could move on.
  • If you happen to have a tablet, try using that as you shouldn't get any videos at all on any of the websites :)
  • If you're using chrome of firfox, open in new window, then just use ctrl & tab to move back to another window and it will keep playing in the background

    Right, i have just tested this, if you open the daily mags in mobile view, they will go through without the video playing at all, no need to turn off adblock

    Let me know if it works for you :)

    How do you open in mobile view? :o
