      After using the Disable HTML5 Autoplay extension for several years, it is now gone. As I discovered on doing a clean system re-install and attempting to find the extension.

      Without it, CNN and other sites now automatically play HTML5 news, which comes blaring out inconveniently during meetings or other times when I am simply attempting to find subjects for group discussion, or working on a tablet in bed at night.

      Research tells me that not only is there no equivalent broad-site HTML5 blocker, but that Google wants to keep it that way in Chrome and Chromium, and is fighting any extensions and settings.

      So I find myself having to migrate all my news bookmarks back to Firefox, which has a setting to block autoplay for all sites, and return to Firefox being my default browser.

      Opera needs to restore the ability to block HTML5 autoplay.

        @underwateropshotmail I'm using the Autoplay Stopper extension and it's working.

          Hi,

          You can download "Install Chrome Extensions" extension to your Opera, and then go to: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions and add "Disable HTML5 Autoplay

          It works 🙂
