What version of the Modrinth App are you using?
Modrinth App v0.8.7
What operating systems are you seeing the problem on?
Windows
Describe the bug
Ads displayed in the Modrinth App are capable of playing audio, including when the app is minimized.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the Modrinth App
- Go to any screen with an ad (for example, the detail view of a modpack)
- Sit on the screen for a while, optionally with the application minimized
- Get "lucky" and get an ad served with audio. For me it was some sort of sportsball ad.
Expected behavior
Ads will be displayed and cycled, even when the application is minimized, but ads will never play audio because of how intrusive that is.
Additional context
Possible workaround: Mute the Modrinth application (appears as Microsoft Edge WebView2
in the Windows volume mixer)
