[doublepost=1484764813][/doublepost]Ok I will try one. Thanks Any good blockers out there or are they all the same
Good luck.
I have tried about every adblocker known to man and have not been able to stop some of those auto play videos.

They work fine for me. But, I never use Safari. Only Chrome and Firefox.
Try Wipr no voice Ad`s here, equally maybe not browsing the same places, and as you stating every time Malwarebytes might be worth installing as well.
Q-6
Is there a particular reason why you wouldn't recommend AdBlock (just wondering because that's what I've always used)?
Voice Messages? You mean like what page you're on etc?
System Preferences > Accessibility > VoiceOver -> disable
Can you be more specific about what you're hearing? There are many possible explanations, as you may have discerned from the different possible answers here. If we knew better what's going on, we could answer more accurately.
Because all of the geniuses are on this forum.

That definitely sounds like a scam website. Check to make sure you don't have a "pop-under" - a pop-up window that is designed to hide behind your main browser window. If you do, close it.
If this is happening all the time, even when your web browser isn't open, check your Dashboard for web clip widgets showing content from a website. If you have any, remove them and see if that solves the problem.
If it's only happening in your web browser, and there are no pop-unders, see if it happens only when you are on a particular site. If so, stop visiting that site.
Not sure I understand that. How would Little Snitch solve this problem? If you're proposing use of Little Snitch to prevent connections to the site causing the problem, first one would have to know exactly what site(s) that is, which we don't. Secondly, that would only cover up the problem, not solve it.
If little Snitch default is to ask before connecting to every link on a particular prime site, it is easy to find which link causes the problem load, and deny further loading.
Little Snitch can be set to block specific domains, IPs, etc. If you don't know what that is, as is the case here, you can't block it.
Naturally, it needs to identify the culprit first, then subsequent loads can be blocked. The advantage (to me) of LS over Adblock is that a single LS rule can be switched on and off in a moment - for those times when one may want to run blocked material.
