A bit like "click to run flash"

There's a (Chromium) flag that kinda enables it.

What flag?

Speaking of flags - we could perhaps have a "study group" of some of the most common flags...

What these options actually do is not that clear as in clear

opera://flags/#autoplay-policy

• Default

• No user gesture is required

• User gesture is required for cross-origin iframes

• Document user activation is required

That flag doesn't appear to have much functionality... Enable play on an item on a site... After that the site in question always autoplays! (huh!) Even with the most strict setting (huh!).

Maybe this helps until maybe an implementation.

At Chrome Web Store (CWS) an ext called "HTML5 Video Autoplay Blocker" is perhaps most lightweight and guaranteed to work.

However native option would be better than the method(s) of ^ those type of extensions.
