re: #42 Interesting Times

Would you happen to know a simple way to stop videos from autoplaying without resorting to full-fledged ad/script blocker? Preferably something that can work on multiple browsers.

(I’m just furious right now, because a website I opened merely to read a fricking article had an autoplaying video - visuals yes, but volume off, so I didn’t even realize the stupid thing was playing. Come back to my computer a few hours later, and discover over 1 GB of data downloaded! And I’m on a capped bandwidth plan! ARRRGH.)

If I ever went even a day without DLing as little as 1GB, my ISP would wonder what was wrong with me.
