Autoplay blocking does Not work on YouTube
Autoplay blocking option is set to "Block". restarted the browser, then I got to YouTube, click on a video and it starts automatically as before.

Since April 2018, Google made some changes to the Autoplay Policy. You not only need to add the autoplay=1 as a query param, but also add allow='autoplay' as an iframe's attribute
So while http://net-informations.com/q/mis/youtube.html video, you will have to do something like this:
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID?autoplay=1" allow='autoplay'></iframe>
It appears that it actually doesn't work anywhere.
tried it also in here:

no effects. turned off ublock origins (adblocker extension), still no effects.- Too bad Edge Chromium does not have a good auto play blocking like Brave browser.
Does Brave auto play blocking stop the Netflix background preview "feature"? If so, I will probably add it to my browser selection for just that one feature.
I'm not holding my breath, but I sure hope the new Edge block auto play will be smart enough to block that behavior too. I'm sure that it it is valued by some subscribers, but I would like to have the choice.
If Netflix has now introduced a way to stop this and I missed hearing about it, I am glad to be enlightened. I saw that Apple TV is introducing the same thing and some other services have it, but have the option to disable it.
HotCakeX I confirm. I have the same problem.
