> Mozilla for the past 25 years has led the charge on deciding annoying animations should have neither a pause button nor an API to allow anyone else to add one.

Once upon a time (definitely less than 25 years ago), it used to be that you could stop animated GIFs by hitting ESC. Alas, no more. But approximately no one seems to actually use real GIFs any more, so disabling video autoplay actually works for now. Let's hope it stays that way and websites won't go back to stuffing faux-videos into images.
