Ublock origin has this feature where it blocks large media files automatically (you have to click to load them). I use it for a long time and never had problems because of it.


Which settings are you specifically referring to in uBlock O? I didn't find any 'click-to-load' option for 'Block media elements larger than' option?


Check out yokoffing's uBO filter lists. Specifically #2 "click2load" which does exactly what you're seeking. Making auto play content click to load.

Check out uBlock Origin's per site switches - subheading "No large media elements" [1]

Then they said "click to load" they meant "click [the toggle button in the uBlock Origin panel] to load," not "click [the media element] to load."


Not sure what I'm doing, but whatever I'm using with uBlock Origin lets me click the media element to load it.
