MicrosoftDev channel update to 82.0.425.3 is live
Hi,
The new edge seems to be improving with each new build, but at least for me I'm still not happy with the video autoplay feature. The site where it fares the worst so far at least for me is here: https://www.yahoo.com/ , yahoo is now a division of verizon, all I can say is some of their web developer's must know something that the developer's of edge must not know because even though I have the video autoplay setting set to 'block' it doesn't seem to matter when it comes to yahoo.com .

Davy49 yeah, that's why the Block option is hidden by default. There are some deficiencies in Chromium's underlying blocking capabilities that require some time and effort to fix, and in the meantime we decided that blocking the Block option to prevent too many people from hitting false negatives like this to begin with was a better user experience for the population of Edge users overall.
Hi,josh_bodner
Thanks for your reply concerning the autoplay issue, I was able to 'enable' the block option in settings before that option in flags got removed. While it does seem to help on some site's, on others it has virtually little to no effect.

- Hmm,
the flag is still on Canary which is higher version: 82.0.435.0
