Please prevent loading of videos upon Vivaldi startup
-
When many tabs are opened in Vivaldi and some of them contain videos like on Youtube or [url=http://edition.cnn.com/2015/02/06/us/target-tie-teen-moment/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_latest+%28RSS%3A+Most+Recent%29]CNN[/url], [b]after restart of Vivaldi all these videos start to play at the same time - making unbearable noise and killing Vivaldi's performance too.[/b] Please implement some solution to prevent it. Upon startup the pages should load but no flash/HTML5 videos. Or they should be loaded but stopped until user switches the tab to this particular one. It would be a different feature than the planned "lazy tabs", as lazy tabs prevent the [b]whole[/b] content of the tab to be started loading after user switches to it, as well as it would work through whole time of working in a browser. For comparison, the solution I request for is targetted only to videos and only during startup of the browser (pages read from the session file).

+1 There is a real need to disable videos from starting as you describe.

OK, here is an idea. How about an option "Load plugins only after entering a tab". This should work perfectly both for start-up and the normal usage of the browser. Such option could be even turned on by default.
Actually, this would need to treat HTML5 video as a plugin too to serve the purpose. But IMO it would be fine. -
Adding my +1 for this feature. Tabs really shouldn't load until open when starting up imo.
