How to disable video auto-play in Chrome/Firefox/whatever? Anonymous 2017-09-15 10:46:49 Post No. 62451495 [Report]
So I have used auto-block in the Flash era when I used Linux. Because on Linux, Flash ate up your computer.
But on Windows, it had produced no load really, it had a very low CPU usage.

Well, then came HTML5. The previous Youtube interface already made my CPU sweaty (all the JS + the video), but the new one?
Holy fuck. My i7 4770hq has like 40% load from a 1080p video. Ridiculous. The autoplay thing is also annoying, I just want to open new vids on tabs for example on Youtube/Liveleak, then watch them later.

How do I disable auto-play in each browser? If there is a browser that can do it, I will just switch to that browser. Worth the hassle.

Set media.autoplay.enabled to false in about:config

Nevermind, found it:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1141200

Now, which Firefox Fork shall I use?
Currently using Waterfox, but if it also throws out extensions I might have to run Cyberfox until it reaches EOL.
Any other good forks out there?

(I mean they literally just need to use various compilers and keep publishing ESR builds.)

Well I hate the current state of web. Firefox is just extremely slow, but on Chrome I have the autoplay. FML.
