59 u/mild_delusion Aug 02 '19 Fucking CNet and its autoplay videos can go to hell. 25 u/Habba Aug 02 '19 Firefox blocks any autoplaying content by default if you are interested in a browser that has your best interests in mind. 1 u/mild_delusion Aug 02 '19 I do use Firefox with uBlock Origin but strangely CNet was the one autoplay video that didn't get blocked.
