Ask HN: How are you avoiding annoying auto-play videos? (Without ad-blocker)

Increasing websites are auto-playing videos (mostly, news websites). I am against ad-blocker. Also, more often than not, these videos are not ads -- they are just part of the content. So, how are you dealing with it?

As of now, I changed chrome setting to disable sound on all websites. But it's a pain to unmute the tab every time I want to listen to something on a trusted website (youtube, ted, etc)
