Why can't Vivaldi block autoplay of videos?

If I go to any article on Abc News, the video at the top will start playing (after a short while), even though "Autoplay" in Settings are set to "Block".
Vivaldi version: 6.5.3206.48 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
But from reading this thread, I suppose it's to be expected.
Guess I should have to blacklist that website.
️Yes same here, I can't understand how Vivaldi can't fix this, or perhaps it should be fixed in Chromium? It's also weird that you need an extension in order to fix this.

The issue is not about Vivaldi but about the degree of understanding.

Not sure what you mean, but like I said, it should never be the case that extensions do a better job than the browser itself. We already discussed this in the past, for example, Vivaldi's built-in adblocker is way too basic. And Vivaldi could make a better auto-videoplay blocker that bypasses the built-in one from Chromium, which apparantly is total crap.
