- marquis 12y agoAdblockers don't catch everything, and also on some sites I am happy to support via Ads but I cannot stand being interrupted with auto-play video. I've really enjoyed the complete silence from ads in Flash format and am not looking forward to a repeat of the early 2000s.
- wutbrodo 12y ago+1, I starting using click-to-play _years_ ago as a quick way to make sure that YouTube didn't autoplay when I opened it in a new tab. I don't use ad blockers for ethical reasons, so a pleasant side effect turned out to be neutralizing the most egregious behavior that ads would display (by and large autoplay etc tend to be Flash ads).

- codesuela 12y agofyi you dont need an extension, Chrome has native click to play support
