Prevent Video Autoplay In Chrome For Mac

In their unyielding efforts to catch eyeballs, websites often resort to aggressive tactics to engage you, the fickle, easily-distracted web reader. Many sites insist on starting a video without asking in the hopes you'll become transfixed by the moving images and sounds and stay on the page longer. Others ask pretty please can we send you notifications? And others display overlays to get you to sign up for discounts or a newsletter and feature a cleverly hidden X button that you need to hunt down in order to close the overlay. Thankfully, there are ways to combat these annoyances.

My answer is always 'Block.' The question is do I want to Allow or Block a site from showing me notifications. If you are tired of repeatedly answering Block to this question, there is a way to prevent sites from even asking.

In Chrome, open Settings and scroll down to the bottom and click Advanced. In the Privacy and security section, click Content Settings. Next, click Notifications and then click the toggle switch so it goes from Ask before sending to Blocked.

Videos that autoplay interrupt my concentration and often cause an extremely unpleasant startle response. Just lately news sites have gotten really bad about this, with video windows actually following you down the page to autoplay in the lower right corner of the screen. This is outrageous.

This should be the end of the story. I'm moving back to FIREFOX. ConcernedUser99 2/3/2017, 6:24 น. Re pzbrawl: Yuppers. You nailed it.

Reading thru that proposal is pretty much 1:1 experience to reading thru congressional documents detailing why something dirt simple can’t be done because it’s got to be carefully thought through, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters. The requirement is stupid simple, a button to select autoplay or not. It’s not rocket science and does not require the addition of a rock-ola selection of radio buttons somewhere 10deep in a list of “advanced” menus which every content provider could choose to override at will.

“In order to not harm the ecosystem, it is important to give guarantees to content providers that this experience will mostly stay untouched.” Gads. I think i need a stiff drink, these people assume total idiocy in their user base and regrettably, they are probably spot on.

Life in the Firefox world has been sublime. Pzbrawl 27/5/2017, 12:49 น.

I'll be in the market for a new phone late this year and I'll buy a Windows Phone before I give Google another red cent. As Google users who are tired of being spat on, we must show them that we can turn our back on them just as they have done to us. Threats and complaints are not enough. This requires action. Let's laugh in Google's face as their advertisers disappear because of a quickly dwindling customer base.

If all the customers that have experienced Google's betrayal would turn our back on them, we could take Google from hero to zero in less than 2 years. Rong Jie 31/5/2017, 23:27 น. It takes just seconds to solve this problem using the browser Firefox.
