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.

Current Edge Canary build 79.0.294.0.
In some of the more recent Edge Canary builds, the Netflix homepage auto-play preview seems to be blocked most of the time. Today the main auto-play preview started the first time I opened the homepage, but after that it did not play.
Hovering over a show also seems to be successfully blocking the auto-pay preview. But if I click the down-arrow to read the description, the auto-play preview it the dropdown window starts playing and is not blocked.

- Yes I'm seeing the same improvements too, like in YouTube I once saw a video being blocked from playing automatically, though it was buffering the video in the background still.
HotCakeX correctly I realized that began to block and advertising on yutube? I tried but doesn't work this on yutube.
- It's not fully functional on YouTube yet, for me it only happened 1 time and randomly, I will see if i can reproduce it again to find a patter
