Unwatchable. I’ll never understand why new websites have so many trackers and third-party garbage. I couldn’t get it to play.

Use Chrome or Firefox with Ghostery and uBlock Origin plugins to prevent most tracking and block adds. Also, you might need to turn hardware acceleration off to get some multimedia content to play.

I use Firefox with noScript, AdBlockPlus, CookieMonster, and Ghostery, thank you very much. I know how to remove the garbage I don’t want, and that’s the reason I can’t watch it.

I’m not turning off the safeguards to watch a video. That asinine.
