any ideas on how to stop autoplay videos on yahoo, espn, etc

[Force16X]

any thoughts on this ? i have adblock, adblock plus, webroot, adguard blocker. they were working fine until a couple of weeks ago and now its back to being a free for all with these damn videos (mostly commercials) yahoo and sportnet are even hiding the video locations so you have to search the whole page.
i dont need to go to those websites, it'd be nice to get rid of the autoplay, (i've already gone to settings in google chrome, so that;s not it.) i have a feeling that more and more sites will learn to outsmart adblock, etc . right now my best defense is to immediately shut down shop and close out the window. i just dislike the EXTREMELY LOUD interruption that comes out of nowhere.
so if someone can help me along with some ideas, i'd appreciate it greatly. if not, i'll just avoid every site that does it. thank you for your support!

I use chrome, ad block plus, ghostery and flashcontrol.

Obviously despite the precautions we take, some of these sites figure out a way to autoplay and use popups anyway. All of the steps taken by the above members are worth taking but nothing is perfect when it comes to this problem.

that helped quite a bit. no more surprises on youtube as well (even though i do want to see those videos obviously). nice , quiet yahoo.

thanks for all the replies and ideas. so far so good. i have no clue how people use computers with none of the above programs stopping all the nonsensical commercials.
