There is a new Chrome extension that detects if a video you’re streaming has a strobe in it, will freeze the video and stick this warning up there until you approve it.

WHERE THE HELL HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE????

the tag flashing was recently blocked from IOS, please use eyestrain instead if you want to still reach IOS users thanks

to any epileptic folks using the mobile app on iOS: turn off media autoplay if you haven’t already!

here’s how:

tap the little person icon in the bottom right corner, tap the gear in the top right, and then go into “general settings” at the very top

tap on “media autoplay” — here you can see mine is set to “only on wifi” meaning videos and gifs automatically play when I’m connected to wifi.

we want to set this to “never autoplay” so gifs and videos will ONLY play when you tap on them! it’s not a perfect fix but it’ll hopefully help catch unfiltered posts while people spread the word to change up their tags and adjust blacklists/filters accordingly :\

Fellow epileptics, I have some fantastic news for you. There’s an add-on that makes the internet safer for us. It’s called Epilepsy Blocker. The creator had me test it out, give feedback, he made adjustments, and it works great. It may even help those with migraine disorders that are triggered by the same thing that messes with those of use with photosensitive epilepsy (mine is a case of being absurdly sensitive).

This is the only add-on I’ve encountered made specifically for those of us with epilepsy. It’s not a well known add-on, but I hope to see that change.

INTO THE SPIDERVERSE HAS LOTS OF FLASHING LIGHTS WITHOUT ANY WARNING

The title screen, which is around a minute long, is constantly flashing
The end scene, which is around 10 minutes, is also filled with flashing, almost without a pause
There are several instances of flashing during the movie as well, either because of the animation style or because the of the plot (sometimes both)
But just like in incredibles 2, the plot relies heavily on flashing and there’s a LOT more than in incredibles

PLEASE be careful because there is a LOT of flashing lights in this movie (and no warning)

I encourage everyone to reblog this, even if you’re not sensitive, you never know who you could save by informing them of this
