@derDay , I know that you can't do this in Android (yet), but my answer and those from @Pesala are from before the thread was moved to the Android forum.

Previously there's block autoplay in site settings in chromium code. But it's removed. Currently you can disable audio only in site settings.
Vivaldi devs can bring back block auto Play in site settings by referring this

Hi,
If this option is in fact still available for developers to utilize, I'm really hoping that the vivaldi developers at least consider doing so.
Seen the same behavior here, but not every time.
Don't know what triggers one or another.
It seems you have to use the Share inside FB and do 2 more steps.

Has anyone found a solution to this? I had a bunch of notes in the panel (desktop). Today, half my notes are gone. Is there any way to restore note text, not the actual folder from trash.
@mib2berlin and looking at the increase of droid 6 issues I don't know for how much chromiums (so even brave and edge) can manage to keep the compatibility for that version. Imho, vivaldi on android 6 should show a one time only alert stating which won't work for too long due chromium deprecation.

Hm, I guess it´s not a virus or an app, maybe it is listed as service worker.
open vivaldi://serviceworker-internals and delete (Unregister) what you don´t need or know.

This was shared with me from a vivaldi mobile user in a recent blog post:

Hi, you can add lists to the Vivaldi add blocker to block autoplay of videos.
I use https://blocklistproject.github.io/Lists/abuse.txt for example.
https://blocklistproject.github.io/Lists/ is the main address.
It does not block videos on all pages but there are hundreds of list for these issues.
Example page: https://www.digitaltrends.com/space/nasa-jpss-2-loftid-launch/

I've already determined that the filter lists that I made reference to & icluded a link to in my post seemingly have nothing to do with or even offer any type of filter concerning the preventing of videos from playing automatically, so without any type of extension support being offered I guess we'll just have to continue to deal with this issue until 'hopefully' the development team possibly might get motivated to offer us some kind of built-in setting to prevent this from happening. At least for me I would hate to have to give up using the vivaldi mobile browser for android for this one reason !!
