Delay loading media until approved by user Topic is solved

[Jazoray]

the attempt to prevent scripted webm from playing automatically is insufficient to protect the user from aggressive sounds and animations.

What we need is a solution that doesn't even load media content* until OK'd by the user.

*Assuming more "complex" media than just images. Such as webm or sounds.

I think this goes a little beyond what should be expected for built-in functionality. Perhaps, an extension to do that would be better.

Off-topic:
Per your signature... "Software interrupting the user is never acceptable and there won't be peace until every developer accepts this undeniable fact."

I am going to completely disagree with that.. There are good reasons to interrupt the user. Madness like that has lead to non-model dialogs and door hangers that convey important information that are easily missed and dismissed without ever being read.

In my opinion, the user should learn and understand the very technologies they employ. Including, why a developer may wish to interrupt the workflow of a user if it is critical to do so.

You are probably right about that. However, if this forum has a subforum for commissioning plugins and extensions (and not just talk about existing extensions) i have not found it.
