- a_t48 9y agoA white\blacklist should do fine.
- notatoad 9y agojust like you can grant a site permission to use your microphone, get your location, run flash plugins, or any of various other things, the ability to auto-play video should be a permission that sites have to ask for, not something they can do implicitly.
- dkersten 9y agoI personally disagree. I HATE getting linked to something that then autoplays a video — I don’t always know before clicking a link that a video is the main content. If I want it to play, I will press the play button.
- freeflight 9y agoYouTube at least stops the autoplay when you are not looking at the tab or while scrolling down through the comments. A behavior I much prefer compared to the usual news sites behavior of "Let's just play this video, hidden somewhere halfway down the site in a side-frame, no matter what".
