God I hate websites that autoplay unrelated videos and DONT LET ME CLOSE THEM TO READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE

Firefox. Ad block. Even works on mobile.

It's so ridiculous we have to do this.

Firefox. Reader mode.

Or Avelon, thunder, voyager, I believe wefwef—all those lemmy clients have reader mode for links opened in-app.

I run ublock origin and the autoplay didn't get blocked in this case :/

Choose a few more & update your lists.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

yeah I mean obviously I can always create custom filters etc, I was just responding to the comment regarding Adblocker... I guess a generic filter that enables all kinds of autoplay would be nice - I seem to recall having had a plugin for that at some point, but forgot the name.

I do not think there is a need for that. Try enabling the annoyances filters and try the site again.

It should work, I tested it with those filters enabled.

Just tried: enabled annoyances filters 16/16, but the big video at the top of the article still autoplays :/

Follow this link to check your settings. I hope this helps. :)

Thanks but this is a generic block - I think I just need to update ublock rules again and hope it catches those annoying video players that scroll with the site as you try to read an article

This has been one of my favorite parts of switching to Android so far.

Both Firefox and ad-blockers are on iOS too...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I’ve tried a bunch of different ad blockers on iOS, but recently I finally settled on using NextDNS. I installed the app, made an account on the website, added a whole bunch of block lists to my settings and now it works on browsers and games alike. I suppose on of the lists also filters out those autoplay videos since it didn’t play in my case. Feels a lot like having a pi-hole no matter which network I’m using.

There are! I like the familiarity of uBlock origin, but I haven't tried all the ad blockers for iOS.
