I'm still trying to find the best way to deal with sites like CNET which automatically launch audio/video on their pages.

First of all, can anyone tell me what is being used to play these things? I don't think it's Flash. Is it javascript or something else?

Someone enlightened me to the fact that control-m will stop playback in Firefox. Is Firefox the only browser that offers this option? Can playback be stopped in either Chrome or IE?

Finally, is there anything in any of the browsers' settings that will block this background media? I saw something in IE that *might* do it, but I'm not sure. I couldn't find anything in either Firefox or Chrome that seemed to have anything to do with this.

If it matters, I'm running JAWS 18 on Windows 10 Anniversary Home edition with the latest versions of all 3 browsers mentioned.

Thanks,
Jeff
