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,

This matter of the videos automatically playing in the bottom r-h of Mail Onlne articles has been discussed here before. (I was the one who first raised this pain-in-the-... feature which Mail introduced.) If you want to stop the videos in Mail articles "floating" to the bottom-r-h corner and then auto playing then install the FF add-on _NoScript_ and assign Untrusted to Mail Online.
