Videos Autoloading in New Tabs

Hi all,

I'm having an issue that's only just started happening in the last couple of weeks I'd say where I'm on YouTube and I open a few videos in new tabs to watch and they just start playing on their own which is really annoying. I've got the autoplay function set to block both audio and video. It doesn't happen with every single video but it happens with most.

And sometimes I find that I go into the tab, click the play button and it plays the last second of the video and shows the end card. Not too much trouble but a bit baffling. I was wondering if it was maybe still playing in the background but not loudly announcing itself this time.

Another issue (though I don't know if it is an issue) is that I like to have Twitch going in the background if I'm waiting for a streamer to start streaming so I can hear once they do but the page doesn't actually reload unless I go back to it and I find I've missed the first 20min. I don't get why some pages load and keep keep going in the background while others don't. Any way to fix this?

Cheers!
