<![CDATA[Stopping Autoplay or mute options]]>Is there an option anywhere to block videos from autoplaying or at the very least the ability to mute audio?
Thanks.

Audio does not start automatically but any other media player I am listening to gets paused. And the notification bar shows some media info from Opera.
Eg listening to Spotify, going to this page: https://www.vg.no/nyheter/utenriks/i/zGl6RO/skal-ha-blitt-advart-om-kirkeangrep-av-utenlandsk-etterretningstjeneste

Then Spotify gets paused when scrolling on the page.

Not an issue on Chrome.

Chromium doesn't allow media to autoplay with audio except in a few circumstances.

All it takes is one site to blast one of their unwanted videos and it's enough to me to not use the browser. At least with the other browsers there is an option to mute the sound. Hopefully, this feature will be added at some point.
