That videos might not autoplay is a feature. That I can’t stop GIFs from autoplaying without disabling playing at all is a bug. (One that I don’t expect to ever be fixed, or even widely acknowledged as a bug, but a bug nonetheless.)
- nine_k 4y agoWhile I agree with you, the problem here as a lack of consistency between browsers, which leads to using the least common denominator from 1990s. Ideally all browsers should have uniform means to control animated graphics (allow or not autoplay, stop all or stop a particular one, etc), and a uniform way to show the intent (autoplay or not, play on hover, etc).
