Thanks for the reply, But ever since i posted that question here suddenly my adblock stopped the video from playing but it also disables the comment section on the news site...

I didnt do anything apart from posting here, Now If I pause the adblock the videos were playing and the comment section is visible as earlier...When i unpause it its blocked... Could it be something like the developers of adblock have added some functionality after my post?

I really wanted to see the comments section on that site..Only im annoyed by the auto playing videos..Also i tried your suggestion( disable html5 ), it didnt work in chrome..

This UserScript I developed a while ago might work, but it turns out to be difficult in general to stop autoplays: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/8022- ... o-autoplay
