The HTML5 extension and Foxnews (stop Autoplay)
-
I had this problem with Chrome. Inserting the HTML5 extension to stop videos from automatically playing works very well TILL I go to the Foxnews site. Without exception, the cpu usage spikes. It only happens with Foxnews. I wonder why that is and is there another extension we can use to stop videos from playing automatically. It's too bad there wasn't something built right into Vivaldi or Chrome to stop it.

You could block foxnews.

There's a thought but I doubt very much that CNN would be pleased. I thought by now all Browsers would have give us the option but the future sure isn't what it used to be.

Well, with all the non-responses rolling in on this question, it must be another way of saying, "forget it, there is no other option than HTML5 or HTML6 as far as that goes, so deal with it." My response being, "I shall."

The problem is such sites always find ways to autoplay their content, show their ads, or flash their popups. Its best to stay away from sites which have these traits, if at all possible. But if you find a reliable way to handle this please share it, there is certainly an audience.

I'm the one asking remember! But if I were to happen upon such a thing, I would definitely share it.
