In the UK the BBC News website (and many others of course) have dropped Flash and use HTML5 to play videos. Unfortunately they also use a continuous-play plugin which can not be disabled, only turned off for the moment.

How can I disable this continuous-play plugin?

  • Sadly this no longer works in Chrome, because most sites use HTML5 video which is not a plugin.

  • Try going to chrome://flags and setting "Autoplay Policy" to "Document user activation is required"
