Reddit - click page then hover again

[zwilldiy]

Starting about a week or 2 ago I have been getting large text when hovering over a video or gif on the old version of reddit.com that says "click page then hover again". I am assuming this was a change in a recent update of the extension? Why did you make this change? It was working fine before, did Reddit change something?

Hi @zwilldiy
On Chrome you have to interact first with the page before a video can be played.
That's why this warning message was added, it is not specific to Reddit.
I did not test other browsers, which one are you using ?

I see. You just need to click anywhere on the page, not actually visit the post. Thanks for clarifying.

@extesy : maybe warning message should be reworded: "click background page then hover again" or "click anywhere on page then hover again" ?
