OldOldGamer: I don't know if this inconvenient has been reported already, or if is only me, but:

using GOG Galaxy to watch a game video, the youtube advertise now come across the middle.
If you go and try to click the "x" to close the advertise, you hit the "next" arrow.
Do you remember on which video you saw the ad? :)

Maighstir: Wait... I knew Galaxy uses an embedded Chrome to display the pages, but now you're telling me it also includes the PPAPI for plugins, and has Flash enabled? Oh bother...

(YouTube video ads are not shown on HTML5, even without an adblocker, only on Flash, which is used by default if available)

There is no reason whatsoever for Galaxy to use Flash. It's not intended to be used on other sites than GOG, and GOG doesn't require Flash (the videos work fine without it).
Just to clarify - we're not using flash in GOG Galaxy. :)

zeogold: Whoa. I didn't know Poland made films.
Ha - ha. :)

Description that Judas linked is really bad :P

The movie is about life full of paradoxes in Polish People's Republic (communism time), it's using surreal humor to get past censorship at the time of making (1980).

P.S. We will investigate what we can do with the ad (although I didn't see it).

It's bad because it's an English description of a Polish movie about a time period that was specific to Poland and other Soviet Bloc countries :P

zeogold: No way. Next you're going to tell me there's actual people living there or something.

Ah, interesting. Thanks for the background info.

Sorry, wasn't trying to hijack the thread. I was legitimately curious, and they said they're looking into the issue you mentioned..
Plus, ain't the staff allowed a little fun every now and then?

OldOldGamer: No worries. I don't care much. ;)

Just pointing out that GOG forum is very painful, along other things, because nearly any post get hijecked quite soon with total rubbish.
Often with moderators contribute.
Sorry for the offtopic. :) I'm just a silly developer. ;)

As for advertisement itself, I've passed the info further, but I can assure you it was not GOG that enabled the ad in the video.

If you could, please attach an image of how the ad breaks the video (maybe others could check this game?) because I can't reproduce it, and it would be nice to prevent similar cases in the future.
