Disable autoplay and preloading of HTML5 video and audio players.

“Disable HTML5 Autoplay (Reloaded)” disables HTML5 audio and video autoplaying.

Now any video is blocked until you click the agreement button.
In addition to removing the HTML autoplay attribute from media elements, “Disable HTML5 Autoplay (Reloaded)” 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. Main and most requested feature: this blocker has a customizable white list, so you may add your favorite sites to exclude from blocking autoplay. To deactivate a function, simply uncheck the related item from toolbar-panel. With this extension you will never have to worry about videos auto playing in the background. In addition, the video will be automatically buffered if necessary.

ReD Blues 2022-04-27 Simply the best auto-play disabler. The whitelisting feature is hit and miss, though.
Novitrix PPR 2022-04-19 Does exactly what I expected and wanted big thanks. Will be pleased if it should work forever.
Uro Brdgms 2022-04-14 Does not work. With Disable Autoplay checked, the video is completely unaccessable. I wanted autoplay disabled, not entire access to the video. When Disable Autoplay UNCHECKED, the video is still completely unaccessable. The only way to enable the video again is to completely remove this extension from Chrome. (Spent 30 minutes trying this extension's dead functionality on cnn.com and yahoo.com autoplay videos.) Overall, it is a nice feature to disable videos--but it does not disable autoplay. Perhaps you could rename it "disable html5 video"
Justin Warkentin 2022-04-04 It's good at stopping autoplay but not so good at allowing exceptions. Exceptions are applied based on the domain the video is hosted from rather than the domain you are actually on. So websites that embed autoplay videos from a CDN or some other source like that will not allow autoplay exceptions in practice. Additionally, there is no way to manually add or edit a domain exception from the extension options. Instead, you have to actually browse to a site and use the extension menu. So again, it's great at blocking but terrible at unblocking.
Device Owner 2022-03-06 There is something wonky about this extension. Specifically; unless the extension is disabled, the "Spectrum.net" website displays a blank page, regardless of per-site exclusion settings. However, disabling the extension completely allows proper display of the site. The least update to the extension was 2 years ago.
