Ok this was working before where I can listen to music or podcast and the video in safari doesn’t auto play. I was using Adblock I think. But now in iOS 11 it’s so annoying.

This CNET article keeps stopping my podcast. I’ve found the same thing in other websites most notably news articles and sports websites.

I even paid for roamblock Adblocker but that doesn’t work out because it breaks the site (I’m getting a refund when it post to my iTunes account). I don’t mind ads or images I just don’t want autoplay videos since it’ll also eat my mobile data and it interrupts my podcast.

Anyway I’ve resorted to using chrome on iPhone and will continue with safari on the Mac but this is really annoying. I’m really not a chrome fan but this has to be it for now.
[doublepost=1510131330][/doublepost]Can some try playing music or podcast and going on the link and see if it stops your audio. It takes about ten seconds to for the video to wind up and start playing.
 
I opened that link and it stopped my music playback also. There seemed to be 2 videos on that site but neither were autoplaying, just paused my music for no reason.

I don't use an adblocker. Definitely annoying.

I tried a bunch of adblocks but they don’t work. iOS 10 always blocked videos from playing. It never interrupted.
