If I search for a movie or TV trailer then I want to watch it as fast as possible.

Same. Most annoying invention ever! Internet equivalent of a door-to-door salesman.

No browser of mine is going to be autoplaying videos. Disappointing if it's even the default behaviour though. Google is becoming obsessed with optimising revenue.

Last week I was doing an online certification and we were on passive optical networks. The question was 'Which type of PON is the most popular in Japan?' and I typed in Japanese PON to get the answer ...

All I can say is I'm happy they didn't have the feature then.
