There are a couple, or so, things that I would like to see changed or added. I would like to be able to go into settings and set a switch that would halt all video loading, or playing unless I click on PLAY. I dislike anything that slows load times and displaying of a Webpage. Also tied to load and display times is my complaint about how advertisements are handled; why can't there be a way preadjust the size and placements of advertisements on a page so that pages just load, and display and not have to readjust on the fly as different advertisements are loaded, making the screen jump around; I detest that distraction.
If this is the wrong place to post this, I apologize, please tell where I should post.

ok so for the video loading it's pretty simple :
1st You open this link : edge://flags/#edge-autoplay-user-setting-block-option
and pass "Show block option in auto Play settings" to enable after that (restart the browser with the big blue button).
Second thing to do you go to edge://settings/content/mediaAutoplay and pass it to block it should do the trick.
For the advertisement edge can't do anything unless they integrate an AdBlock so you can use this extension for hiding all advertisements (don't forget to whitelist from adblock website you like or want to support) : Ublock-origin on Edge Store

@Wittycat, In my opinion, Adblock Plus is better.

i hope to see an adblock like in the mobile version :\ (even the adblock plus one) because an adblock at the browser level will always be faster than one on the extension level ^^
and we can be sure (since maintained by microsoft) it wouldn't be sell to some turkish dev who will transform it into malware (aka nano defender/nano adblocker)
