<p dir="auto">It Should Not Do That.  <strong>If I Have paused video before closing Opera, I don't want opera to start to play it for me</strong>. It doesn't matter If I had closed to browser. If I have paused a video, then keep it paused.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also, if I select a tab with a video after restarting Opera, Opera starts to play the video in that tab. Even if I have earlier paused the video. Again. <strong>I want to keep my videos paused</strong>, if I don't hit play myself. Should be simple.</p>
<p dir="auto">This all is hugely annoying as after restart I have to keep pausing the videos.  Often I have multiple windows open, maybe a few tutorials running, so it is frustration to start hunting those that Opera decided to start to play. It can take a while, and then I also lose the place I was.</p>
<p dir="auto">This amount of issues with Opera has been quite overwhelming. How it is possible that every basic feature is being destroyed update after update?<br />
Sorry for my attitude, but the late development has been just a huge disaster.  A bunch of useless toys are introduced while the basic functionality of the browser is collapsing. Why was this autoplay/not to play even changed? It didn't work like this earlier. Not a single good update for a year or so. Just more issues after each update, and nothing that matters gets fixed.</p>

It's up to the sites to decide if a media will start playing when you load the page.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you don't want that to happen, you can install an extension that blocks video autoplay.</p>
