Latest Safari: ad videos going full-screen

I’m on Mac OS 14.7, Safari 18.0. Since installing the 14.7/Safari 18 update, I’ve noticed that ad videos jump to full screen playback if I accidentally hover the mouse over them.

Has anyone else noticed this? More importantly, how do I PREVENT THIS bleep ?

Sounds like scripts being run by the web sites presenting the ads.

My suggestion is to use some combination of script-blocking and ad-blocking extensions.

Yes, same here since the macOS 14.7/Safari 18 update. Didn’t happen on the same pages/sites before the update.

Really annoying!
