LeoCG, instead of saying "there are extensions out there", can you give a few examples of working extensions that provides click-to-play on Youtube, even if HTML5 is used? I did try several extensions myself, but perhaps/hopefully you know of one or two that actually work.

Maguc Actions used to work but recently i started having issues with it in latest developer build.

Improved Tube may work too.

ImprovedTube - YouTube Extension

There seems to be an overabundance of youtube extensions to sort through.

But i guess that just a few claim to stop autoplay.

Magic Actions works for me if I select the option "Stop Autoplay", thanks. I wonder if Magic Actions only works on Youtube -- I haven't tried it with other web sites that use HTML5 video. As for ImprovedTube, I just love the fact that I can watch videos at higher speed.

Yes, that's the reason for the name "Magic Actions for Youtube".

Hi @ugcheleuce: if you want a solution, which also works on many other websites, you can install the "Disable HTML5 Autoplay" extension

"Disable HTML5 Autoplay" extension will disable auto-play, but not auto-loading too (even tho it say so)
better solution is to use Magic Action, force HTML5 video and disable auto-play, auto-load etc... (at least for me)
version from Chrome web store works fine, version from Opera addons store is old/bugged one
