Disable Automatic Playback of HTML5 videos (CNN, ESPN, etc)
According to the research-based, there is no method to stops websites for employing audio auto video or audio playback in the latest version of Chrome. Before the settings let you block plug-ins from the autoplaying. But this was removed in the latest version of the web browser as far as my research.
I have turned off entire plugins, explicitly blocked content from the domain with a plugin, but the audio is still playing automatically. ESPN offered to have an auto-playing Enable/Disable option, but it does no do anything.

Previous suggestions contain downloading a random different plugin that has a very different object and giving it control entire sorts of items in the hope that it allows you to turn off this.
I would rather not change browser, but Chrome browser continuously getting worse and worse.
