Every live game I try to play on chess.com now I get EXTREMELY LOUD ADVERTISEMENTS THAT CAN'T BE MUTED!!  Completely ruins the experience and I am forced to mute the entire browser. Please fix this! Most of the time the banner ads are for Leo Vegas online casino or other gambling sites. Not a very healthy choice to sell ad space to those gambling categories either.

The site uses a third party ad provider and doesn't directly approve ads that get displayed.

I'm pretty sure audio ads are not ones the site wants. Please report them if you get them: https://support.chess.com/en/articles/8647548-how-do-i-report-a-bad-ad
