This has an autoplay video, unrelated to the story, at bottom right. Currently it is trying to tell me about "the top 5 best tech toys".
Hmm, there's no autoplay video on my machine, because cnet isn't allowed to run javascript. And if I do allow it for some reason, there's still nothing. If I further allow cbsistatic.com then there's a whole load of crap loads, but still no autoplay video. In fact no matter what I do there's no autoplay video, simply because I disabled it globally in Firefox's preferences. :)
I have disabled autoplay video, yet they play.
I've yet to encounter any example at all that does that. Could you provide a link to one? (Oh, you are using the opensuse packaged 60.3.0esr? Things are different in later versions as a quick search will explain)
It is not easy to find one now when I want to :-)
I did not mean that all videos play automatically. It is some on some sites with "clever" scripting, if I remember correctly they were commercials. I'll try [...] no luck.
<https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6525515/The-worst-drivers-wheels-German-cars-like-BMWs-Audis-Mercs-study-reveals.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline> Going down the page there is a video, not started. As I go down past it, a float appears on the bottom right with the video, fortunately not started. And it can be closed. This time :-) But this one is not a commercial, but a part of the article. Commercials are more intrusive. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
