When opening tabs there are often embedded links to Youtube that will automatically buffer and play. I only have 4 gig of data a month so I am very annoyed by data that I don't choose downloading!! Also multiple tabs multiple links can all start playing at once, which is awful to listen to, and it takes time to find the links and stop them.
