dtgreene: I do that, but it's not always that easy.
* Sometimes, it's easy to accidentally click, or to not think to do this.
That's why those extensions I talked about are a pretty handy thing to have.
(the one I used also resizes/etc the subtitles, and does a number of other nice things as well)
dtgreene: * On mobile, to see the link you need to long press, and if you don't press long enough, you're taken to that site.
An easy solution to this is to not click/press any unknown links while on mobile.
(or get the extensions mentioned above, if they work on mobile as well)
dtgreene: * One should not encourage sites that auto-play video; it's one of the many problems with the modern internet.
Let's be honest: the makers of such sites would likely do such things anyways, if people linked to them from other sites or not.
(btw, I 100% agree that vids shouldn't auto play by default on such sites)
