馃洃 Video autoplay blocked, for good (Chrome Extension)
noplay is a Google Chrome extension. It aims to disable the autoplaying behavior of videos on your favorite websites.
noplay removes the HTML5 autoplay attribute on the <video> and <audio> tags. It also listens to DOM changes with the MutationObserver API in order to prevent lazyloading new autoplaying videos.
noplay also deletes the autoplay=1 query string in the Youtube iframe videos.
noplay tweaks video and iframe tags, but cannot prevent videos from being played programmatically.

Facebook, Twitter and probably other websites already allow disabling video autoplay in their settings. It was not worth implementing a solution for them.
Disable autoplay on Facebook:
Go to Settings > Videos > Video autoplay (No)
Disable autoplay on Twitter:
Go to Settings > Acessibility > Video autoplay (uncheck the box)
You can download the extension on the Google Chrome Web Store
