Hope it works for you. you could test it out on one you don't normally enter before tomorrow to see if you'd got the settings right.

Just tried a Prima comp - video not loading? Do I use the mobile user agent app or just enter via chrome?

Poor you



I can't say if this will work as I use a sensible browser, but try this.

2. Disable autoplay on your desktop

Just like with Chrome for Android, the desktop version will eventually get the same type of controls in the settings menu. Until then, you’ll have to use Chrome’s flags to disable autoplaying videos.
First, copy and paste ‘chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy‘ into Google Chrome’s URL bar. This will take you directly to a Chrome flag that you can be changed.
The Autoplay policy should be set to Default when you load the page. You’ll need to set the drop box option box to Document user activation is required so that you have to approve any video to play on a website.
Lastly, you’ll need to click on the blue Relaunch Now button found at the bottom of the page. This will restart the Chrome browser and activate the change.

Sadly, it made no difference! I'm not going to bother with the daily mags anymore - too time consuming and irritating!

You could try firefox just for the Mag dailies, I can't really help with Chrome, I used it for a while some time ago but got fed up with it.

How do you get firefox?

Last time I tried firefox (ages ago)it was really slow, wondering whether to give it another shot. Might have been an old version I got, do you have a linky please?

The video in FF don't always skip straight away, I open multiple tabs from a bookmark folder and skip to the next tab and so on then come back to where I started, I normally see the congrats page by then but sometimes need to back up or refresh the page to get it to go through.

For the video hack you'll need to follow the instructions in my first post changing a 0 to a 1 instead of clicking true to false. assuming it's the same version of FF as mine.

Thanks but I think I will just stick with Chrome, as I know my way about it! I think I am getting too old to learn new tricks too lol!

Still having problems with the daily mags - has anyone found a solution to the videos and freezing probs?

I have been able tom stop videos playing in Firefox using the tip in this thread - a few mag (Look and Marie Claire) seem to have changed and the videos appear now and just freeze, - anyone else experiencing this ?
