I run ublock origin and the autoplay didn't get blocked in this case :/

Choose a few more & update your lists.

yeah I mean obviously I can always create custom filters etc, I was just responding to the comment regarding Adblocker... I guess a generic filter that enables all kinds of autoplay would be nice - I seem to recall having had a plugin for that at some point, but forgot the name.

I do not think there is a need for that. Try enabling the annoyances filters and try the site again.

It should work, I tested it with those filters enabled.

Just tried: enabled annoyances filters 16/16, but the big video at the top of the article still autoplays :/

Thanks but this is a generic block - I think I just need to update ublock rules again and hope it catches those annoying video players that scroll with the site as you try to read an article
