Google and Apple are implementing new tools in their browsers that would block certain ads, like videos that automatically play with the sound on.

Afterwards, we'll hear from Ardine Williams, a VP of talent acquisition for Amazon Web Services, about the difficulties veterans face when trying to find a job and Amazon's efforts to help them.
