How to disable autoplay at instagram.com?

[Vanerio]

Hi!
I have tried these filters to make use of Permissions Policy:
||instagram.com^$permissions=autoplay=()
*$permissions=autoplay=()
But they do not work.
Am I missing something? Should I do something different?
Thank you very much!

The autoplay permissions policy is not supported in Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Permissions-Policy/autoplay#browser_compatibility
Thanks

I am using Brave, not Firefox
Could this be a problem?
Thank you!

Ok, sorry.
Would you mind:

• click the uBlock Origin icon while on Instagram (with the filter added)
• click the chat icon
• scroll down to Troubleshooting information
• copy that here

Thanks

Brave has built in autoplay blocker. Configure that.

brave://settings/content/autoplay?search=autoplay

Thank you, your suggestion works!. However I would still like to know how to do it with uBlock and of course know if I am doing something wrong with the filters.

[Vanerio]

Still not working in version 1.56.0
Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Vanerio]

I don´t know why you marked as answered, even if my question has not been answered. Your suggestion is just a 'workaround' out of uBo

[uBlock-user]

If $permissions doesn't work then, currently nothing else will.

[Vanerio]

Do you mean that $permissions is not working in uBo at the moment?
I might have written the filters wrong though, as I am not an expert.
Thank you

[Vanerio]

The Brave native solution sometimes does not work...If you play a video the block-autoplay setting stops working sometimes.
Still wondering what should I do to block it with uBo!
Any help will be greatly appreciated

It remains to analyze a ton of JavaScript on this site.

Once you've noticed how the site adds autoplay (instead simple autoplay attribute visible in view-source:), you can consider stop it some of the JS code at Instagram after to match these to uBo's arsenal of scriptlets.

In uBo with Firefox the replace modifier could work, by removing the autoplay attribute in view-source when fail :remove-attr(autoplay) and ra.js with asap stay tribe (may need killing the dynamic loading of subpages).

RU AdList clean up some autoplay in players:
