When a content owner creates an audio or video stream, they can add script commands (such as URL script commands and custom script commands) to be encoded in the stream. When the stream is played back, the script commands can trigger events in an embedded player program, or they can open your browser and then navigate to a Web page. This behavior is by design | ||

Does anyone know a way of stopping windows opening URL's that have been embedded in streams? It really annoys me when it does that!
Thanks HexJam |

Get used to it. The whole of the web's content is distributed and/or controlled by a scant handful of private companies whose sole concern is to sell you things you don't need. They will accomplish this feat by whatever means are necessary, including, and certainly not limited to, hijacking your browser. The web once had potential, but now it's little more than a shopping mall in a box.
By the way, try adjusting your browser's security settings to disallow these nefarious scripts. You might also consider using a media player application with its own built-in customizable security settings. OR...you could always subvert these offending streams entirely by shutting off your computer and reading a book. |
