1/ You can't mute tabs by default
2/ You can't prevent videos to auto-start.
Simple as that, I think muting tabs was possible in the past, but of course, Chrome team removed that function because youtube.
- tomComb 4y agoGawd yes, thank you. I actually find Chrome to be faster and generally appreciate the contributions that Google has made to try to keep the web competitive with the proprietary platforms, but I can't get past the auto-start video issue.
- gernb 4y agoYou know that Chrome tried to remove auto-start videos and advertisers just ended up writing their own battery sucking slow canvas based software decoders? That Firefox is doing this is very much like yesterday's new Facebook URL https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32117489 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32117489 where people complained Firefox screwed up by escalating.
- bilkow 4y agoBy default firefox only prevents content with audio from autoplaying, which I can't think of any way to circumvent and it's probably good enough for most people.
- soraminazuki 4y ago> where people complained Firefox screwed up by escalating I believe that was a single person.
