Autoplay video that takes up almost my whole screen with full sound blasting, the video itself contains the cliff note of an article that has less than 500 words.

This is beyond awful.

There should be an option or plugin for whatever browser you use to disable auto-play videos.

There is a config option for most broswers.

For firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1150702

Not sure for chrome.

Yes, this is what I meant (and I have it switched on) although reading my comment back I can see how it could be interpreted as me wishing for this capability.

There is, atleast built into chrome (not sure about other browsers).

On Android: Settings > site settings > media > autoplay > toggle blocked.

Desktop browser option too.
