I properly set the site permission to "block audio and video" auto play, but still a lot of website are able to auto play and at full audio volume.

Is it possible to stop them? - Android 11 Redmi note 11

Thanks

Hi

Do you have a link to an example video so that I can try to replicate this here?

What level of enhanced tracking protection do you have set? Do you any add-ons installed in Firefox for Android?

Hi www.repubblica.it for example It's quite random. It seems that videos are usually blocked the second time I load the same page. So I just opened the website in incognito mode and one video started. I have enhanced no track option. I have no plugin - i tried ublock but it wasn't able to block videos either 

Thanks

Go to “Privacy & Security.” Scroll down to the “Permissions” section. Click “Settings” next to “Autoplay.” Click on the small arrow button and select “Block Audio and Video
