Q: Safari 10 breaks clicktoplugin, autoplays everything

Safari 10 finally breaks clicktoplugin, which has faithfully stopped autoplaying video for years.  Even better, clicktoplugin allowed me to send frames to my AppleTV to play.

 

Currently, Safari 10 is autoplaying everything.  This is chaos.  How does anyone stand it?  Background tabs just spontaneously erupt into advertisements, new loading tabs begin playing before they're loaded, robbing me of any useful audio alerts from my computer if I have Safari open.

 

Is there another extension that will interrupt these so they can be played one at a time on my preferred screen?  Or a way for Safari to mute tabs until I'm ready for it to make sound, so my other applications can use sound?

 

Or a way to uninstall Safari 10 and go back to 9?  Where this worked at least half the time?

    It is showing as solved.

     

    For Safari 10 text size - quit Safari. Copy and paste the Terminal command from this article into Terminal. The last 2 digits (14) can be changed to your desired size. Then hit return. Reopen Safari.

    Sorry Eric, that in fact does not solve the problem.  It just is a bad work-around which generates new problems and breaks many (most) web pages.

     

    When I get the  Zoom Text feature back, then I'll move forward.  According to another post, the Safari 10 menus/instructions indicate that the feature should still be there, with a different keypress.  It just isn't, for some reason.
