I'm sorry to start off somewhat negative in my first reply, but it is what it is.

The new Edge seems to be a decent browser in my opinion, even for its development status. I'm using it right now. I've also used the version of Edge that is currently packed in Windows 10 regularly, and it's okay too. But no version of Edge will ever be my default and "daily driver" browser until there is a way to totally stop all autoplaying video and audio. This is the number one reason that Firefox (sorry for using a dirty word in here) is my default. Elliot Kirk

This is great feedback, David61. What level of autoplay settings are you looking for?
Thanks,

  I want to be able to turn off ALL autoplay. It's not that I don't like video or audio playing. I just don't like them playing automatically...especially at 3 am in the morning when the house is silent or I'm listening to music. Since I listen to music via streaming on the same PC I do most of my surfing on, muting audio is simply not an option. Nothing should be playing unless I tell it to play. Elliot Kirk
