What Format are these Adsense Ads?

Does anyone know what Adsense ad format this is? [imgur.com ]

These have been appearing all over my site, and I don't know what they are or how I can disable them.

FYI: Ad intents and Multiplex ads are unchecked/disabled on auto ads and I never created ad units for Multiplex ads either.

Thanks.

I can't answer your question, I've never seen it anywhere, but is it possible that your site has been selected for experimenting with ad formats? They don't ask or tell you, but apparently they are using live AdSense sites for some experimenting now.

See this thread about that: [webmasterworld.com...]

Thank you for that @not2easy,

it might very well explain why I see these ads often.

disable this feature : Fill Empty In-Page Ads
The setting is ON by default and has been implemented recently.

To turn OFF :

Sign in to your AdSense account.
Click Brand safety.
Click Content, then Blocking controls.
Click Manage Ad serving.
In the "Display ads" section, turn off Fill empty in-page ads.

@wbntff,

Thank you, I appreciate it.

I just disabled that feature.
