How do I stop videos from Auto playing on for example this site :

https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/

Is there any way to make videos stop loading?

Would prefer this to work using Opera's built in controls and not having to add another extension or add-on.

Thank you for any help.

@operalinknx1 You need to use an extension.

Hi, so I have found another notorious website that autoplays videos and literred with annoying ads.

https://www.pcgamer.com/

I found out that using uBlock Origin on its own was simply not enough. Even by using element picker and adding it to filters did not work.

So I got Adguard extension. Using both in conjunction solves this issue.

However for epic games store, I am not necessarily looking to completely remove the Youtube videos, just looking to stop it from loading and playing automatically.

I will continue to look for the best extension that stops videos but does not remove them completely but if anyone has any info on it please let us know.

Thanks.
