That's why web advertisers are pushing publishers to create more video content. Ads inserted at the beginning of a video can't be blocked with current tools.

Because of that, for all browsers I'd like a setting to block video auto-play, as I rarely watch the video "content".

Firefox has this already - don't think the others do though.
