It is being rewritten, though, and seems to be a major focus right now. Now You: how do you handle autoplaying I’ve heard that their Sync is bad as it stands. Microsoft's work on the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge web browser continues, and the option to block autoplay is a welcome addition to the browser. Changes will only be applied to new tabs.

Brave, a Chromium-based browser may display a prompt when it notices that sites attempt to play media automatically. Mozilla's Firefox web browser comes with native autoplay controls, and so do other browsers.

Note: Windows 10 comes with autoplay settings but these manage device autoplay functionality only.įor a user, it may be seen as disruptive and that is probably the main reason why many web browsers support options to limit or block autoplaying media. The same is true for video ads that often play automatically as well. Many newspaper sites have started to push videos and many of these play automatically when an article is opened. it may be a user's expectation on a video site after clicking on a video link on that site, but it may also be undesirable. The feature may be desirable on some sites, e.g. Autoplay refers to media content that plays automatically when a user loads a webpage or scrolls down to a particular section on the site.
