      How would I go about disabling video/webm content in Opera12, or any browser? It's starting to get abused like flash in ever so annoying ways. IE the paypal website.

      Thanks.

        opera:config#Multimedia|AllowAutoplay Stops it from playing, but not loading.

          I knew I should have complained more when they debated standardizing video in HTML5.

            Just for curiosity, what's in paypal's site? I can't see any video there.

              The big one that takes up the entire screen and auto plays 12 other videos.

                Hmm, that video doesn't play here. In fact i don't even see it but may be because of local paypal redirecting.

                  Paypal must think they're netflix. Probably need to negotiate peering rates just to deliver their 250MB landing page.
