Disable embedded media on mobile
January 21, 2013 at 5:21 am
When viewing on my iPod, threads with lots of posts with embedded media such as YouTube videos causes Safari to crash every time. The playlist thread for instance I can't access without crashing. If there was a way to stop embedded content from loading automatically on mobile devices, that would be neato.

Odd, I've never had this problem. Which iPod is it?

It's a late 2010 iPod with iOS 6.0.1.

Hmm, well I'm using an iPhone 4 from around the same time, and with iOS 5. Works fine for me. :S

It doesn't for me either Tiberius ...zoning might be an issue? Just thinking.

You don't have a zoning committee? Hope no one tries to raise cattle in the middile of the website.

It would be a cool extra option, I see no reason not to allow it.

But then I'm technologically stupid, so...
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Do not disable it! Tongue
Perhaps something like flashblock.... prevents loading the flash object, but provides a button (the size of the object) that loads it when you click/tap.
My 2010 droid froyo works just fine.... but I don't go to those threads that tegh goes.

BTW, Tib, if you're going to look into the mobile version, kindly fix this issue:
