The problem I outlined (below) has been solved!
Through advice and coding help, I am now using the “StopTheMadness” app on my phone, which can block all videos for Safari (so I use social media through the browser, rather than individual apps, which is okay), and on my Mac I used the same extension “StopThe Madness” and added this to the custom Javascript code:
const meta = document.createElement(“meta”);
meta.httpEquiv = “Content-Security-Policy”;
meta.content = “media-src ‘none'”;
document.head.prepend(meta);
Thank you all for the great ideas!

Hey. Some of you are computer folk. If you have a moment: is there any way to make a browser not play ANY videos?
I’ll install any code that can break video playing. Disabling “auto-play” isn’t enough. I want to use social media (FB, IG etc) for personal and professional use, but I get sucked into videos. If it can play, I will play it. I can’t even have these social media apps on my iphone or I get sucked in. I am such a self-disciplined person, I don’t understand the uncontrollable compulsion, but it real and it is making me sick and miserable. I am willing to give up my browser (any browser, although I use Safari these days) playing ANY video.
Anyone? Any thoughts?
(someone just recommended the “Stop,TheMadness” app, excited to try it in the morning!)
I think the Symbiont would appreciate that.
