Please let me know how to prevent websites from automatically playing content. My autoplay setting is set to allow no audio and no video. On Fox News and other news sites when an article is selected, videos with audio automatically start. This is most distracting. Thank you! Jim Thompson, Mesa Arizona.

Provide steps to replicate. This is the one I see that plays, but is muted. see screenshot I click on other videos below that one and they don't auto play.
