I missed using FlashBlock (Firebird extension) back when Shockwave/Flash is popular. FlashBlock did what it said and block all Flash video in the page until I click the element to load that Flash object and it will play the video. Back then, there is no escaping with this extension, it is relentless and very good at it.
Now, browsers bastardized the version of FlashBlock and implemented this shitty approach with HTML5 autoplay which sometime work but never did in the same level as FlashBlock. We need HTML5Block extension (there are one extension but it is no longer maintained) that can do the same level as FlashBlock.
