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. Edge insider Version 79.0.285.0 (Official build) ...
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.

It appears these sites are playing the video a short while after the page is loaded. It does not also work on the sites that start playing the video as we start scrolling into it. It should be changed so that only a user's action would start the video playback.
- Yes exactly, video autoplay and video preloading/buffering should both be stopped (the latter can be optional in the settings), without user's action
