The fix for that is simple, use an external player, then they can't mess with your stop/mute/whatever buttons.

I still can't reproduce any of this though, I get 0 ads on any of the streams I clicked through.

EDIT: To fix stop/start you of course need to keep buffering the video.

That'd fix the mute button, but if you stop and start the stream, you'll get an ad regardless of the player.

Tune in to Vinesauce (https://twitch.tv/vinesauce) tonight at around 9PM-10PM PST. In addition to being a fun Sunday stream, you'll be able to see first hand what the new ad delivery system is like.

He's streaming right now, just checked it and didn't get any ad.
