Disable HTML5 Autoplay Extension

THIS EXTENSION IS CURRENTLY UNMAINTAINED; Please see GitHub for the latest news: https://github.com/Eloston/disable-html5-autoplay/blob/master/README.md

======================

Disable HTML5 Autoplay disables HTML5 audio and video autoplaying.

In addition to removing the HTML autoplay attribute from media elements, Disable HTML5 Autoplay also hooks into the media's JavaScript API. This allows for restrictions on media control and simulation of expected behavior to ensure that all pages behave normally.

Jupiter 0000 (ID: 0000005913719c46) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/12/2023 już nie dział!

Josh Baer (ID: 000000ae81bffc8c) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/24/2023 Even thought it's not supported anymore, it still worked better than most autoplay blockers. Now it doesn't work on certain sites though, causing my whole computer to freeze when they try to load and play a live streaming video. Generally works on most sites still, but where it doesn't it fails big.

Александр Полонский (ID: 0000009c727ed486) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/03/2023 Какое счастье - наконец удалось заткнуть непрошенное видео и звуки на Яндекс Дзене! До этого начинали воспроизводиться со звуком даже превью в ленте Дзена и, чтобы ночью вдруг не заорало какое-то из этих превью, надо было старательно следить, чтобы нечаянно не навести курсор на какое-нибудь превью. Расширения из магазина Оперы не помогли. Большая благодарность разработчикам!

Alexandre (ID: 0000003074409c46) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/16/2023 It supports YouTube and disables its autoplay in 2023. Google Chrome and all other Chromium-based browsers such as Chromium, Brave, Vivaldi and Opera used to have a flag setting that allowed us to disable autoplay for the entire browser, but since Google removed it from Chromium, all other browsers just followed the path and removed it as well. No one re-added or worked in a solution, Brave promised to do something about but haven't done anything till now. Nowadays we'll need to rely on dated and unsupported extensions like this but that still works, at least.
