There are add ons/extensions in chrome and firefox to prevent ads and videos from autoplaying. The one I use is "flashcontrol", it works really well and is customisable, but there are also others to choose from.

Hey guys, I found a way to block all autoplay video and ads. There is an extension/add on for Chrome and Firefox called "Flashcontrol". It allows you to block all autoplay flash ads and video. I've been using it for a while on this site and it works great.
@neatfeatguy: I actually believe that sites does this so that they can force video ads down your throat. That way, whether you click on a video or not it still counts towards ad revenue.
Actually some tech sites have stated that the PS3 is the best Blu-ray player on the market. One of the reasons was because it's firmware can be updated over the internet, while the other players don't have this feature. When you also realize that the PS3 is also the cheapest on the market, you have to wonder why anyone would buy a standalone.
