This is a shitty pattern that news sites(huffpo, espn etc.), especially, have bought into. You open a series of news stories across a half dozen tabs expecting text stories. You get auto-playing videos across tabs accompanying each text news story.
Just for this reason I am for a browser-level default block on auto audio/video playing. Let me unblock it at the domain level(ie. youtube).
- mikegioia 14y agoI had to install flashblock after scrambling to find the source of audio/video on Techcrunch. Ugh.
