If you are using Firefox, you have at least two options:
1. Open about:config , find the media.autoplay.enabled property and set it to false.
2. Use the NoScript add-on to block the audio/video tags for untrusted sites.
edit:
I see you are using Chrome, sorry I hadn't noticed.
- ScottWhigham 13y agoDoes NoScript come into play here though? HTML5 has the <video> tag and doesn't require js to play the video. <video> <source src="MyMovie.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' /> </video>
- hemtros 13y agoof course HTML5 video requires javascript because html can't play video, it javascript decoder that plays video.
- CWIZO 13y agoVideo playing is not handeled by JS. You only use JS to control the player (if you want). The playing itself is handeled by the browser somewhere. So no, you don't need JS for html5 video.
- phr4ts 13y agoThanks for suggesting noscript. I got "scriptsafe" from chrome store and it had the option to disable <video> element. I also checked chrome://flags but there was no option to disable html5 video there. Thanks
