      Is it possible, is it any way? I found UserJS to disable HTML5 AutoPlay ( https://greasyfork.org/pl/scripts/388-html5-video-auto-pause/code ), it stop autoplay but I can not start video... I can not find anything to disable automatic preload/buffer.
      How to change preload="auto|metadata" to preload="none", is possible to inject some html or css or something else to stop this &^%# preload ;)?

          The extension Magic Actions does this for YouTube. I don't know about other websites.

            Not that i know of. There are some extensions that can do that for some specific pages.

                  Yes I know. I know this extension , I use it from Opera 15 (on 12.50 ExtendTube 😉 )
                  The problem is on the other sites.

                  Is it possible, is it any way?

                  Just as I suspected, html5 is a step backwards.

                  I have to agree too.
