And that's exactly the problem.. it used to be very hard to block just a few weeks ago.

      Yes, these kind of extensions just used to take advantage of the existing properties.

    You could get to it through about:config (so.. a little difficult for the common user to reach) media.autoplay.enabled media.autoplay.allow-muted They then changed to media.autoplay.default media.autoplay.block-webaudio media.autoplay.enabled.user-gestures-needed And removed the previous parameters, which caused the videos to start playing automatically again, until you would configure the new properties (again, only though about:config). Finally, they're now providing a menu option for achieving the same, which deserves to be applauded.
