How many people download it by choice though?

  I did, early on. It largely seems fine, and really isn't very different from Chrome. I'm not a very picky browser consumer, though. And unfortunately, all browsers seem to lack my killer feature, which would be to never start a video or animation without an explicit act on my part.

    Brave has the option in settings to stop autoplaying videos - https://brave.com/?ref=trn365 https://brave.com/?ref=trn365 There is also an option in Firefox settings as well.

      I feel like I tried these a while ago and neither was entirely effective. Maybe I was doing it wrong, though. (To be clear, the feature I'm looking for is some sort of irresistible button to start/stop the action that neither the website nor its Javascript can affect. Preferably it would not even be able to tell whether the video was running.)
