Hello,

Is there a way of stopping videos (YouTube and other videos) from automatically playing? This is especially annoying on news websites.

There was one extension that I saw out there, but it has been abandoned by the developer and has not been updated since 2016.

Are there any other extensions available or adjustments that I can make on the menu?

Thanks.

You can try the flag Autoplay policy.

@hiker454 copy the address and paste it into address bar. Or you can search for that flag in opera://flags.
