Every day, I open every article I want to read in different tabs simultaneously, so that I have 5 to 10 players playing the same video all at once, very annoying...

And on principle, autoplay should be banned from the Internet.

That's a good solution, but I'd like to keep the number of extensions in Firefox at a minimum, already having a certain amount of them running.

Yep, autosport forced me to end up using Flashblock too, which is a shame because I'd rather them be able to show the ads that pay for that part of the site. Having Chrome near die because of 20 simultaneously flash videos though? No.

On the other hand, if you are talking adverts, well, for non-subscribers there are adverts, obviously. And some of them are not static images but videos, as expected, isn't it?

But it's a great option indeed, the best you can do in this situation ;)

Thanks for this suggestion.If you use either Firefox or Chrome there's an extension called Flashblock which prevents autoplay. If you're using IE you can also tweak it to mimic that: http://lifehacker.co...h-block-feature
The Autoplay function has been irritating me for ages. Now Flashblock has saved me!

Must be the mods, working for employers ;)I would never usually criticise a service I get so much enjoyment from but the autoplay really winds me up having to search for the pause button. I like the video updates, hate the autoplay. Has caught me out a couple of times at work too (when I should be working!).
But the issue is STILL GOING ON, and since about a month there has been STILL NO REPLY. Is anybody even reading this thread?

It used to be an issue to me when I was on exotic net links and fresh pcs, and had to pay crazy data costs.

Just tested with Chrome.
