First of all, great script, thank you very much!

I was wondering if there is/could be an option to disable autoplay only on tabs loaded in the background. Ideally I dont want to push an extra button if the page is right in front of me, but dont want background videos to start blaring. In other words, the use case is less at buffering than at unexpected or undesired behaviour. If this can be done, it'd be an awesome addition.

Greasemonkey has no way of knowing which tab it's on so this isn't possible.
