How do I stop self starting videos at yahoo news?
How do I stop self starting videos at yahoo news?
I've installed Ad Block Edge and Ghostery and tried another blocker called uBlock. I installed a giant host file I found on the PCLinuxOS forums. Annoying videos on Yahoo news continue to start and run whereas this wasn't happening a couple of weeks ago. I may have solved the problem a long time ago (or not) but the videos are present and I'd appreciate some assistance on making them go away. I did a search and it seems some people want to do just the opposite of what I want to do. They want to get the yahoo news videos back. I want them gone or at least not self starting. Thanks and please be nice. |
In Firefox, the Flashblock extension works well for me in that regard.

I don't visit Yahoo often, so this is more of a question. What format are the video's? I am wondering as things go to HTML5, if there is a setting somewhere that disables autostart (or are we going to be seeing more of this)?

Firefox? about:config, set media.autoplay.enabled to false. Works for me v31.4.0 on Slackware 14.1.

I always used flashblock too but i like your solution better. |
Sadly, the cure for all this is to totally dump Yahoo for *everything*.
I did and I have not regretted it once. Their code is buggy and they they pay absolutely no attention to their users' feedback. Just look at their overflowing forum of complaints. |

Anyone have a way to do the same thing in Chromium?
