Disable HTML5 Autoplay

An extension for Chromium-based browsers that disables autoplay of all HTML5 audio and video

This extension disables HTML5 media autoplay on all websites. It requires little to no user interaction and should work on all websites without breaking functionality.

Here are some of its features with some technical details:

Stops media with the autoplay attribute
Works on dynamically-inserted elements and all iframes
Toggle autoplay on second-level domains (will be saved across browser sessions in the future)
Media player-specific code to prevent the controls from breaking
Prevents unauthorized invocations of the play() function via detecting user input events (for media without special code)
- Fires play, playing, and pause events manually during an unauthorized invocation
