Use Turbo, that disables autoplay on all videos.

Even the ones that are not Flash based?

opera turbo not working , facebook videos still buffering in backend ....

come on opera developers fix this or create plugin for it , or stop using new realease of chromium engine ,

old opera was best this new chrome sucks full of bugs

please fix few bugs
-> autoplay of videos specially on facebook
-> opera/chrome freeze no input of text from keyboard in web :: reasons when u have 25+ tabs open , and developer console is open and you close tab without closing developer console first , occur when models are not closed like when you browse for file upload and click on web page then file upload model is still there not closed , these things cause oepra deep freeze . which need fix

thanks

I may be wrong but i guess this is how things work. If a (embedded) video is part of a page then it will be downloaded as it should.

Btw, Facebook videos do not autoplay, at least here. Backgroun buffering has nothing to do with autoplay.

Still, the point of turbo is to reduce bandwidth so it shouldn't load videos.
