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 :/

Follow this link to check your settings. I hope this helps. :)
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
