How do you stop daily mail videos on mac

The Daily Mail's videos can be quite pesky, can't they?

To stop Daily Mail videos from playing automatically on your Mac, you can try the following methods:

  1. Disable autoplay in Safari:
    • Open Safari on your Mac.
    • Click on "Safari" in the top menu bar and select "Preferences."
    • Click on the "Websites" tab.
    • Scroll down to the "Media" section and uncheck the box next to "Autoplay."
    • Click "Close" to save the changes.
  2. Use a browser extension:
    • Install an ad blocker like uBlock Origin or Ghostery, which can help block autoplay videos.
    • Alternatively, you can use a browser extension like NoScript or ScriptBlock, which can block scripts that trigger autoplay videos.
  3. Use a third-party app:
    • Download and install an app like AdBlock Plus or AdGuard, which can block autoplay videos.
    • Follow the app's instructions to configure it to block autoplay videos.
  4. Clear browser cache and cookies:
    • Clearing your browser cache and cookies can sometimes help resolve issues with autoplay videos.
    • To do this, go to Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data, and click "Remove All."
  5. Use a different browser:
    • If you're using Safari, try switching to a different browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, which may have better autoplay controls.
  6. Block the Daily Mail website:
    • If none of the above methods work, you can try blocking the Daily Mail website altogether using your Mac's built-in firewall or a third-party app like Little Snitch.

Remember that some websites may require autoplay videos for legitimate purposes, such as providing audio descriptions or captions. If you encounter issues with a specific website, you may need to adjust your settings or contact the website's support team for assistance.
