I was pushed to write about this article today when i was browsing and opened many tab on my browser not knowing that one of them way busy playing a video that i don't watch or have any interest to watch and all my data was consumed by this video since my laptop was on silent that made me not be aware that one of the tab i opened was playing a video.
I also notice recently when browsing on facebook post feed that a video clip uploaded by someone can just start playing without your permission to do so and sometimes i have to click the video clip to stop it from playin which can be annoying and may consume so much data when you have less data plan to manage.
Now the question is how can we stop such thing from happening?
