uBlock Origin filter blocks TechCrunch autoplay videos

Original: uBlock Origin filter to block autoplay videos in TechCrunch

A new uBlock Origin filter list circulating online blocks autoplay videos on TechCrunch's website, letting readers browse articles without clips starting on their own. The filter is being shared among users frustrated by intrusive video ads and embedded players. It follows a wider push to use ad blockers to silence autoplaying media across news sites.

Why now: Readers are frustrated with autoplay videos on news sites and are sharing a practical blocking fix
