Short answer
The Better Ads Standards are guidelines from the Coalition for Better Ads identifying intrusive ad formats that consumers find most annoying, such as pop-ups and auto-playing video with sound. Google Chrome has used the standards to filter ads on sites that repeatedly violate them, giving publishers a practical incentive to avoid those formats.
