• Find the Autoplay setting and click on Settings next to it.
• Choose Block Audio and Video to stop videos from playing automatically.

For Vivaldi:

• Open Vivaldi and click on the Vivaldi menu (Vivaldi logo) in the top-left corner.
• Select Settings.
• In the Settings window, go to the Websites tab.
• Scroll down to the Media Autoplay section.
• Choose Block to prevent videos from playing automatically.

For Microsoft Edge:

• Open Edge and click on the menu button (three horizontal dots) in the top-right corner.
• Select Settings.
