[dba-Tech] av autoplay in crhome & firefox

[Jim Lawrence]

Hi Peter:

My understanding is that Google now has to become more attuned to the complaints of share-holders who want bigger dividends. Less moon-shots,  more squeezing out those dollars and shake-downs against their users. Investor are now focused on wringing that goose's neck.

I oscillates between Google and FF but Opera and Vivaldi are worth a serious look.

I switched from FireFox to Chrome years ago 'cuz it was faster and less 
bug-infested than FireFox, especially bookmark processing for which FF 
used SqlLite, ugly slow. I've kept using it 'cuz of the ease with which 
Chrome keeps bookmarks synchronised across multiple machines.

But on Chrome, advert autoplay is increasingly common and intrusive, and 
as with much else in googleworld, complaints have no effect. They're 
reworking their autoplay policy all right---to make it worse ...

Anyone FF users out there who can confirm that advert autoplay is less 
intrusive in FF?
