STR: 1. Go to https://simpleanalytics.io/ 2. Observe that the video on the page. Expected: - The video should be blocked with the usual dialog asking you if you want to allow the video to play automatically. Actual: - Notice that the video in the center of the page starts immediately. Screenshot of the video attached as well.

This is wrong. Playing even a muted video consumes CPU and other resources. Off should be OFF. If I want the video to play, I'll click on it. If I don't now I have to click on after the Fan is already at high speed.
