BEST APP FOR STOPPING VIDEOS FROM AUTOMATICALLY PLAYING
Does anyone know of the best app. to download to stop the vidoes from automatacally playing. Very annoying. There are so many to choose from, however I do not want to download an app. with viruses etc.
I know I can do it in google chrome etc but then as I watch the TV through the computer I need to download one instead.

Hello Spanish lad no it is the Daily Mail ones, so irritating. There are quite a few to download however I am always nervous of download viruses etc, so just wondered if any had download a reliable one.
Oh most probably no one reads it and so do not have any need to down load one

You mean something else for a microsoft laptop? Apps are for tablets

No I use a tower, I do have a lap top but I prefer my tower and desk, especially if I am typing up documents etc.

Microsoft seems to have moved on a little faster than you have!

So as not to hear these videos, I maintain mute my the sound on my commuter and only unmute it when I need to listen to something.

Was only aware of surface type apps.forgot they do touch screen now. Presumed something like that would be changed in the general settings rather than needing an app. I moved on from microsoft years ago. To much bloatware and hassle when theres far easier alternatives for computing.

The are but when I want to play videos or stream the tv they stop those from playing so I need something to download.

I am sure some clever-clogs will come up with some reason why it is not a good idea but I use a combination of No-Script and Flashblock add-ons to my Pale Moon browser which block most unwanted videos. It just needs a click on the arrow in the centre of the video screen to set it in motion if it is something you want to watch or you can set a permanent override on selected sites.
I don't know about glorified toys such as smart phones and tablets as I would never use them for proper work or online banking etc.

Thats interesting Beach. Pale moon browser!! I must have a look at that and also No script and Flashblock. I do have to say those videos are tedious to say the least.

Yes, Pale Moon or Firefox. I don't know about the likes of IE or Google Chrome because I avoid them like the plague.
