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.
