There’s a bug on the page (on iPhone, at least) once you scroll to the gifs that it starts to auto load them without doing anything, making it really hard to navigate anywhere at that point.


When will people finally learn to never autoplay.


Autoplay is fine, it’s Safari opting to autoplay in FULLSCREEN. Firefox et. al. play them in the respective video containers.


The opposite for me on Firefox Desktop - I didn't realize they were gifs and wondered what the pictures were supposed to tell me.


this should be fixable with `playsinline` on the video element: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/...

annoying that this is the default behaviour on iOS though
