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 videos 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

Browser's own autoplay setting may be used to stop autoplay, but the video's thumbnail (poster attribute) is still shown, which may take up a lot of space visually. SteamDB extension's solution for images is nicer.
