What is the state-of-the art way to block those annoying autoplay videos?

I have previously enabled click-to-play for flash, but now that videos have moved to html5, that no longer works. So then I installed the "Disable HTML5 Autoplay" chrome extension, which worked for a while, but seems to be less and less effective these days. Then I resorted to picking site elements with Ublock. Amazingly, this didn't work today for this Fortune article. I finally had to just block their CDN (brightcove) via Privacy Badger.

Surely there must be a better way. This is just getting insane.
