Mozilla, the maker of the open source browser Firefox, is adding a new « auto-play blocking » feature to the search engine for desktop and Android users to block audible audio and video playbacks by default.
The feature would come as part of Firefox 66 which is scheduled for general release on March 19.
« Any playback that happens before the user has interacted with a page via a mouse click, printable key press, or touch event, is deemed to be autoplay and will be blocked if it is potentially audible, » Chris Pearce, Engineer, Mozilla wrote in a blogpost on Monday.
