Sites with autoplay videos should be banned.
- benley 10y agoI very much agree. Clicked link, read five words, site started screaming some garbage advertising at me, closed tab immediately. It's not even the video that bothers me so much - it's the autoplay audio that causes me to immediately close the tab and never return to a site. Ugh.
- kefka 10y agoYeah, I looked for another link that didn't have such obnoxious refuse... Id' be game if you can find a less spammy site. But when I submitted this an hour ago, there wasn't any.
- benley 10y agoFor what it's worth, it's fortune.com that annoyed me, not your link to it. Thanks for looking for alternatives at least :-)
- RubenSandwich 10y agoI've recently started using this Chrome Plugin to disable autoplay: https://github.com/Eloston/disable-html5-autoplay https://github.com/Eloston/disable-html5-autoplay. So far works about 95% of the time, but it recently became unmaintained. It also does not distinguish between when you click on a video and the next link plays it, e.g. Following a link to a YouTube Video or Netflix show.
- Profragile 10y agoI just use Scriptsafe to block everything.
