- aszlig 4y agoThis is actually very easy to patch: https://github.com/openlab-aux/vuizvui/blob/61b943d89b08959e877afe3e3785ee7a74fa9dbf/pkgs/aszlig/firefox/mute-by-default.patch https://github.com/openlab-aux/vuizvui/blob/61b943d89b08959e... Essentially it's disabling gesture activation, so if you want to allow audio you need to do this explicitly. Note however, that whenever you directly visit a video file, audio will still play but this is very rarely the case.
- quesera 4y agoMy browser never plays audio which I do not explicitly request. That would be madness! This is my preferred interface for NPR news, and it might address your issue also: https://text.npr.org/ https://text.npr.org/
