Stop video from loading on product pages #269

Description

@jn64

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Current setting "Stop images from loading on product pages" only stops <img> elements. Developers are embedding more and more videos (or GIFs that Valve transcodes to video?) in product descriptions.

E.g. this page has 5 WebM videos in the description, adding 11.69 MB to page load

Describe the solution you'd like

A separate setting to "Stop video from loading on product pages" that targets <video> elements

Describe alternatives you've considered

Browsers can stop video autoplay (e.g. Firefox), but the video's thumbnail (poster attribute) is still shown, which may take up a lot of space vertically on the store page. SteamDB extension's solution for images is nicer.
