Then use Firefox :)
- deadlycrayon 9y ago+1 It's trivially easy to stop ALL media from autoplaying - including gifs! It's wonderful (but sometimes jarring when I expect a gif to be playing already)
- JoshMnem 9y agoFirefox also lets you mute a tab without switching to the tab.
- positr0n 9y agoChrome does too. Just right click on it and "Mute site" will mute the domain. Forever I think.
- rainbowmverse 9y agoI tried it again recently. The mobile app is just too slow to start, and I'm currently stuck with a phone with too little memory to not autokill stuff. I realize Chrome's apparent snappiness is probably due to some questionable and likely anti-competitive integrations by Google, like Microsoft in the 2000s.
- posterboy 9y agoAlso a consideration if hording tabs. I am mildly annoyed by the memory usage taking almost 8 gb of ram for a mere 70 tabs [1]. I thought chrome had superior history search indexing full text once. Was that feature culled? [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16560655 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16560655
