It appears that it actually doesn't work anywhere.

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.
- I hope so too you know, Netflix and for me specially on YouTube I want autoplay blocking to work, and on news websites. Microsoft can just make it to block any HTML5 videos (which is super easy to identify) from being played automatically and instead put a play button on the media.
Netflix and YouTube both use HTML5 video.
there are extensions that already do this.
HotCakeX I confirm. I have the same problem.
