What do you mean by "block autoplay"? I use both Firefox and Chrome, and they behave the same, despite Chrome doesn't explicitly say "autoplay blocked": when you open a tab in the background, nothing plays until you switch to that tab, just like Firefox.

There are two things here. One is that by "autoplay" I mean on a foreground tab. Say I open a youtube tab in the background, then switch to it. The video starts playing. I don't want that, and FF was blocking that autoplay. Two is that I talked about Chromium. Apparently there is a way to do this for Chrome, for Edge, but not for Chromium.

  Apparently, Chrome gets earlier fixes and in some cases Chromium is completely overlooked. It's like feeding on the goldmine (chromium, which gets contributions from other developers) and building up your own with extra features. Same for Android, VS Code or any other commercially backed so called 'open source' project. Imo, these projects should be in the hands of the community or some legitimate non-profit.

  The AutoplayStopper extension works well for me: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autoplaystopper/ejddcgojdblidajhngkogefpkknnebdh https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autoplaystopper/ej...
