The easiest way I have found is the use Chrome or Firefox, both have extensions that will stop autoplay. I use Disable HTML5 Autoplay in Chrome and used to have a similar one for Flash but have all Flash plugins turned off or deleted. I tried Safari 10 after updating to Sierra and found the autoplay intolerable and searched the web unsuccessfully for solutions. Unfortunately Safari always seems to lag years behind the other main browsers in the kind of extension functionality I need to control the internet annoyances.
