It may not have been updated for a couple of years, but the official Data Saver extension for Google Chrome remains one of the best ways to blanket-block videos auto-playing in your browser. While you’re at it, while you’re here, you can block and allow different things on websites, such as that pesky sound.
This lets you set absolute rules by website, so videos can autoplay on those you trust or be outright blocked on those you don’t. Once you’ve clicked the padlock, click “Site settings,” then click the dropdown next to Flash and select “Ask,” “Allow” or “Block” as required. You can, however, fine-tune which sites to block and allow the playing of Flash videos by clicking the padlock in the address bar when you’re on a site with Flash video. Control Flash Video Playback in Chromeįlash videos are disabled by default in Chrome (the browser will ask if you want to play the video first). Select the last option to block autoplay, at least as long as you don’t interact with the web page. Document user activation is required – Video starts autoplaying as soon as you click or interact with the web page.User gesture is required for cross-origin iframes – Autoplay is enabled for videos that aren’t hosted on other sites (linking to YouTube, for example).
