Stop autoplaying videos on mobile articles
When clicking on an article when on the mobile version of www.yahoo.com, on about half of the videos, as soon as you touch the screen to scroll down, the video at the top starts to play. This is terrible for bandwidth of people not on wifi... but the worst part is when you're trying to read the news in a quiet place (like in the middle of the night with your partner asleep next to you). The video plays with sound (despite the phone being on silent) and you have essentially no warning or way to turn it off (when trying to click the pause button on the video, it opens up the page for the ad instead of actually pausing it.) If this keeps up, it's going to be very hard to keep yahoo as my main source of news.
