What's the status of the cat and mouse game being played with autoplay video being forced on and new options needing to be hunted down?
First Chrome forced it on, because EvilCorp's business model is around a forced-open-eyelid philosophy of advertising revenue from unstoppable impressions.
Next I moved to Firefox, which in an update a few months ago changed the autoplay option to be on, removed the config attribute and made it a new one, which has as options 0, 1 and 2. Turned out autoplay default should be 1.
I'm not about to wait to find out what's around the corner. I started using Vivaldi this weekend in hopes someone actually made a browser for those who don't care about some company's ad revenue.
I don't know why Firefox would do that, and introduce Pocket as well. Is copying Google that sexy a thing?
