In the UK the BBC News website (and many others of course) have dropped Flash and use HTML5 to play videos. Unfortunately they also use a continuous-play plugin which can not be disabled, only turned off for the moment.
How can I disable this continuous-play plugin?

Click Chrome’s menu button and select Settings to open the Settings page. Click Show advanced settings, click Content settings under Privacy, scroll down to Plug-ins, and select Click to play.
Tools -> Addons -> Plugins and changing the drop-down to Ask to Activate.

Sadly this no longer works in Chrome, because most sites use HTML5 video which is not a plugin. – user3241 – 2018-09-19T11:07:35.737
Try going to chrome://flags and setting "Autoplay Policy" to "Document user activation is required" – user3241 – 2018-09-19T11:11:41.727
