I'd also like full disabling of ALL auto-play: video, audio. Users should be able to whitelist sites if we ever do click to play any media (like YouTube, for example). Perhaps like a "Play once" or "Auto-play at any time".

No triggers, like "user interaction", should be able to override the denials. Just because users make the "fatal error" of inputting text into a text box (i.e, writing a comment on Imgur) should not mean any ad from any company can now play video or audio.
