I hate any site that autoplays audio, no matter what it is. Even worse when it's something like this, though.


So, YouTube?

It’s Nyan Cat. What the hell did you expect?


Well, that's what TubeStop is for: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tubestop/

I'm not the guy you replied to but I didn't know what to expect when I followed the link, I had no idea what "Nyan Cat" even means.

But it's on Hacker News, so it would be something interesting and valuable, right? ;)


Don't know who to "blame", but either Safari on Windows doesn't play audio or I've muted the browser in the Windows Mixer some long time ago...

Yes, browser isn't for audio.


Well the site uses an ogg audio track. If you edit the code to include an mp3 source then it should work on Safari.
