And autoplay video, without easy way to stop it. Ugh.

    It's either ads, subscriptions, or they'll run cryptocurrency mining on your hardware. Journalism ain't free, kiddos.

      I'd rather a micropayment system with browser plugin that decrements your account on sites you agree to pay per page view. I don't mind paying $0.02 to read a decent article but I really don't want a bunch of CPU load DOS'ing my machine or malware screwing with it or my privacy.

It's a bit annoying for pages like Youtube where you do want autoplay to work, so you have to move the timeline cursor a bit, but the upside is worth it. Also available in Chrome, I hear.
