This seems super pointless.

Maybe look into ways to make <video> fast?
> 2. You can’t right click and save video
I never had an issue with this... But if Safari does, perhaps they should have fixed that there?
> 3. Autoplay abuse
Mute the video or remove the audiotrack. If even this in the future gets prevented to autoplay, then I don't see how <img> tags wouldn't as well. After all, they're just becoming the same thing.
- SaltySolomon 9y ago1. The issue here is what browsers are expecting with a <video> tag, which is long-form content and that's what they are optimizing for. 2. Depends on the browser and the player that is used. 3. Well, the <img> tag is by default much more limited, hence it is less of interested to the ad companies and the browsers allow it more freedom. But yes I agree that this is a point the browser developers should improve upon.
