How to disable autoplay vids for chromium
For example, browse to this link: http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/21/us/michig … ing-spree/
For me, there is a video there that autoplays. I'd like to disable that behavior but am not finding anything obvious in the settings for chromium. Google suggests the plugin settings from chrome://chrome/settings/content affect this but not for me it seems. A setting of 'let me chose when to run' has no effect.

Re: How to disable autoplay vids for chromium
Changing the plugin settings will only help if the video is served up via Flash I think. I don't think there's any setting in Chromium itself that can make Html5 videos click-to-play.
However, a quick google search led me to this extension which seems to do the job: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta … olai?hl=en
