Thanks for the NYT article. It recommends the Disable HTML5 Autoplay extension which I downloaded some time back and tried. It doesn’t work for webpages not coded in HTML5.

I’m looking for something more universal.

did you ever find anything universal ?

I added “flashcontrol” extension for chrome.
so far, so good for Opera and SlimJet - all autoplay seem to be stopped in it’s tracks.

For IE, i disabled Flash - still testing.

I haven’t done anything with Edge.

On some pages (Fox news is one), as you scroll past the video, it pops up at the bottom.
I haven’t found a way to stop it.
