Edge need Limit Media Autoplay (ALL)
Please add option to Limit ALL media from auto play.
What is the point when you say "Most popular websites will remain unaffected"?
That is the whole point of stopping media playing when visiting popular sites.
This half baked way of browser implementation is why most people stay with other browsers
in my case Firefox.
- You're welcome, yeah they still have to ship a lot of features from the previous Edge to the new one

I also request they change how to re-enable autoplay on sites you'd like autoplay.
For example, Imgur is blocked by default. But how can we re-enable that?
ikjadoon Your request requires the browser to keep a list of websites to auto play and others to not auto play. It is similar to how ad blockers work in creating a white list of sites not to block. They also should let you edit this white list so you can remove or add sites to the white list. Great Idea!
Deleted Yes, agreed!
I think they already have the database for site permission, for what it's worth. Adding it here would be good (maybe not under tracking protection, haha, but somewhere in this menu!):
Or here:
I hope they implement it as it's quite "one size fits all" right now. It should be granular, per-site--like all our other permissions already are.
You say half baked browser as if it's a problem.
it's an alpha software and it's supposed to be half baked.
that firefox you mentioned had 20 years for development, the new Edge had only a couple of months and it's already in the top 10.I did not mean "half baked" in terms of early development but that they are only doing things in half measure. I usually go to 4 news site and all of them are popular so if the new Edge browser would stop none of these from auto playing media, why would I use this browser. Why stopping auto play media on some random non popular site be of any benefit to most people or cause me to change main browsers.
- in the latest canary version, do the autoplayed videos have sounds or they start off muted?
