From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If it's just Crunchyroll doing this, you can disable auto-play for it (or just disable it for all sites, IMO automatic playback of media is pretty annoying).
Another alternative is to use Auto Tab Discard, which automatically suspends tabs which are inactive after x seconds. This also helps save memory and CPU usage, and also greatly benefits laptop users. So if you tend to leave your browser open and have dozens of tabs in the background, I'd highly recommend getting this.
I think auto tab discard is what I'm looking for, thank you
crunchy roll
Ye if it's a website it'll auto-refresh sometimes and start playback as the cached buffered chunks age
That makes sense, this is probably it. I'm gonna try the add-on the other user was recommending and see if it happens again.
It's just the new AI porn saying "watch me plsss"
No idea, but it might help others to know what Desktop Environment you were using, browser, addons, etc.
Fair point.
I don't think DE has anything to do with it since it happened on both GNOME on pop, and Xfce on arch.
On both machines I'm using Firefox and have the following addons:
Ublock origin, bitwarden, sponsorblock for youtube and bring back dislikes
You're not using KDE connect perhaps?
Nope, just on my gaming tower, but those laptops shouldn't have it installed and I definitely never set up a connection to my phone
