And I think most users are very annoyed by any type of autoplay, but perhaps not motivated enough to fight it (especially if muted). I *detest* ANY type of media autoplay- regardless of the type or if it is muted or not. You might be in the minority, but you are FAR from alone. I don't want autoplay anything in my browser." >"Maybe I'm just in the minority in not wanting everything to be a video. Maybe the issue is that the sites have no motivation to obey "no autoplay" because it would cost developer time to satisfy a very small group of visitors. Maybe I'm just in the minority in not wanting everything to be a video. What incentive do they have to stream videos to me that I don't want to watch? It's a little different from "do not track" in that even legitimate sites have monetary incentive to track me regardless of how I set that flag. I know I can stop it all by turning off JS entirely, but it's so integrated into so much of the web now that even simple sites barely work without it. Why not have a browser flag that tells sites "I don't want autoplaying multimedia content"? I know crappy sites with video ads would ignore it, but more legitimate sites could respect it, potentially allowing them to save on bandwidth by not sending content to me that I don't want. I use a plugin that aims to disable a lot of autoplay, but it doesn't always work. I don't want autoplay anything in my browser. It's great that browser makers are generally not beholden to people like advertisers for money, so they can make more user-friendly decisions.
