Option to disable autoplay video

How do we upvote this request?
-
I'm adding a comment so this hopefully gets more attention. This feature is missing on mobile.
It would be really nice if no old access to the vivaldi:flags and other settings to force behavior like this.
-
For PC I use "Disable HTML 5 autoplay" extension, but for mobile it's essential.
-
@slavau I do too but it doesn't work on all sites. Blocking video autoplay is an essential, core browser function these days and the fact Vivaldi still doesn't have this is quite embarrassing in my view.
-
Essential function! This thread is three years old though, hope it won't take another three years before we see this feature implemented.
-
This feature should be an integral part of every browser!
I wonder why it has not been implemented before, seeing so many features that Vivaldi has?!
-
Pls add this to desktop version as well.
-
I think it would be great if it should be added.
-
I also endorse this 3 year old feature request
-
This is one of the features that keeps me from recommending Vivaldi the most. It's such a QoL improvement that I can only think that Vivaldi has some agreement with Google to not add the feature
-
@tsrodr This topic is marked "Pipline" in the title, which means this requested feature will be realized by the Vivaldi developer team, but no date for completion has been set yet.
-
+1 add this asap
-
Need this. It's essential to block video when on limited data on mobile. Also having videos shoved in your face is unpleasant and rude behaviour to begin with.
-
Switched to Vivaldi and was deeply disappointed by the lack of this option.
-
@kerygma Yeah I'm nearly with you here, won't leave because of this but was VERY surprised to find out this isn't already in place. Edge already has a flag for it too, I figured Edge would be the last to add it not one of the first.
-
Another upvote. Extensions are unmaintained or don't work as intended. This needs to be part of Vivaldi by default. A browser that brags about customizability should have the ability to STOP videos from auto playing, especially since Google's intent is to allow ads to autoplay.
-
-
Yeah. Blocking autoplay is an absolute essential in every browser, let alone vivaldi. Its just unbelievable that such a user friendly browser like vivaldi doesn't have one yet
-
@kilroyklutz can you say exactly where in Settings? I couldn't find it
-
@ajose There currently isn't any option to block autoplay in Vivaldi (you'll need to use an extension like "Disable HTML5 Autoplay (Reloaded)" for that).
The original message was simply suggesting that the Vivaldi devs add an option to block autoplay in the settings.
