Expound more, because this menu combo doesn't exist in iOS Safari, and everything I've turned off related to auto-play doesn't make a lick of difference. I'm really sick of it too and whoever out in the world thought it was a good idea is an idiot.
ohhhh. sorry. i missed the ios part. but i think there is a way to do it there too. let me look.
Yeah I have already activate safari there with the setting set to off. Still doesn’t work tho
Don’t use safari then. try a different web browser, im sure there are some that don’t auto play.
It’s not Safari’s fault - Apple and other browser makers introduce blocks for these, and advertisers develop new ways to circumvent them because they’re greedy cancers upon society.

Vinegar is a Safari extension that replaces the YouTube player with a minimal HTML video tag. It removes ads, restores picture-in-picture, and keeps videos playing in the background. Note: The "can read information from webpages" text in the permission section is just unfortunate wording...

Hmm the description says only YouTube videos. :/
oh yeah, sorry thought you meant YT not just videos at large. misread the original post.

Well shoot. I bought this, and it does work as described. However, it doesn't support 4K resolutions.
Is there any shortcut or way I can quickly toggle this extension "off"?
Yes, all you need to do is delete the app (maybe offload I don’t know if that works or not) and it will turn off. Re download it the next time you need it.
That’s the hammer approach
I only want to disable it (temporarily) when watching a 4K video. Before anyone says ‘you can’t tell the difference between 1080p and 4K”…. Well I use the Pro Display XDR, and the difference is substantial.
