Strange. Chrome based browsers do not allow autoplay in most cases. If the site specifically default mutes the video then autoplay is allowed. I believe Firefox adheres to this as well. I don't know anything about Safari.
Will not autoplay:
Will autoplay:
If the sites you visit autoplay unmuted videos, they are circumventing html somehow. So this means you can probably use uBlock (or ABP) and its element picker to remove the element/video, but that's also annoying if since you won't ever see the videos, and something you do want to watch comes up.
It autoplay without sound, but it is an annoyance for me regardless ๐
