Scripts are one thing, but videos are more annoying. Every news website seems to have autoplaying videos that no one ever asked for. I really really wish browsers would offer a way to block media elements. Not all this "we'll try to detect whether blah blah and maybe don't autoplay if this and that" nonsense. No. Not these pathetic half-measures. I want a switch that makes the browser forget what a <video> means. Such that it would treat it like an unknown tag. That's the only way.
@grishka I am very interested in websites that circumvent video autoplay blocking in browsers. Please share links if you can.
