The extension is not blocking JW Player videos on Salon.com in my Chrome browser.

Same problem, different web site. JW Player videos are autoplaying on sfgate.com

I ended up using the following extension on chrome - Video Autoplay Blocker by Robert Sulkowski

I don't think this extension is being maintained.

@sdho2004 I have a notice at the top of the README, which is visible on the project's home page. I also put a notice in the Chrome Webstore description. And there's even instructions in the new issue description to read the latest news (saying the extension is unmaintained).

~~Despite all of this, it seems the message isn't getting across to all users, and I honestly have no clue why. Do you have any suggestions?~~

EDIT: I have created #199 for this problem.
