Disable carousels auto play

[gagarine]

Let's see if we can pause most of carousel / slider by default. User can still move from slide to slide using the carousel navigation. This features should be optional.

Nobody should use carousel: http://shouldiuseacarousel.com/

First, I need a list of top carousels plugin and popular website using them...

There are thousands of different carousel scripts, often they are custom made. I think it might be difficult to make a comprehensive list and go in and remove them all. But it's a good idea, if it could be made to work.

On the other hand, a simple generic approach is to disable timers on a page. For example, the Stop All Site Timers Greasemonkey script. I tried using it on all pages, but unfortunately it broke a lot of websites. So now I just have it run on a few sites that I "blacklist". Previously I used the "Right to Click" addon that also did a good job of that, but it's not available anymore.

I also use the Zap Timers bookmarklet manually whenever there's a distracting carousel or other repetetive javascript animation.

Btw., I've been using the same approach for killing CSS3 animations, using Greasemonkey, Custom Style Script, and several other bookmarklets from the above site and from here, for various other annoying event listeners and so on. But it would be nice if there was a good addon that covered all these things in a simple way. I think it would be important to have a whitelist/blacklist function.

Good luck!

"There are thousands of different carousel scripts" Yes, but if you kill bootstrap's carousel, Slick.js and jCarousel an slick (jQuery one), you already did a pretty good job.

whitelist/blacklist function -> totally.
