hi Friends!
When i open a webpage with youtube video
the browser automatically starts downloading the video.
Is there any way to prevent the video being streamed(buffered)
automaticaly untill i finish reading the comments
to prevent wastage of my Bandwidth..?

OR

Simply switch off automating loading of images from "Options". Guess all browers have tis option. Opera/Firefox do have :)

OR

In Firefox, U can use JavaScript blocking add-on like "NoScript" for temporarily disabling it

It is possible if you are using Firefox... Download and install greasemonkey for firefox. You can find it on the firefox add-ons page. Download the greasemnkey user script from this website here...

Hope this helps..
