I go to multiple websites and I am still seeing videos auto play even with the setting set to disabled. Are websites bypassing the setting? I also have unblock origin installed if that matters.

Thanks!

OK it does look to be a symptom of ublock origin. I thought I had disabled it on a per site basis, but I was incorrect. I went into settings and disabled the whole plugin and now the videos do not run. The sites must have an anti-adblock setting that shows autoplay ads.

Thanks for the help! Folsom

Hi

I would recomend trying without the add-on as that may cause an issue, but so that I can look into this further, do you have an example of a website where this is happening?

I have tried both if those sites. The first one does not appear to have any video, the second has a video that does not autoplay (as per my browser setying for autoplay to be blocked.
