User publishes uBlock Origin filter list to stop TechCrunch autoplay videos

A set of custom uBlock Origin filter rules has been published that blocks the autoplaying video embedded in TechCrunch articles. The rules target scripts from JW Player and Connatix, which load the video and a floating ad player, and also hide the empty placeholder box left behind. The filters are confirmed to work with the full MV2 version of uBlock Origin on Firefox, added via the Dashboard's 'My filters' section.
