Nope.

Ublock & umatrix still don't block autoplaying videos. You should still use NoScript.

IMHO if you push small cosmetic changes in the UI in every update, like Gorhill does, there's a problem.

He has a poor attitide IMHO.

So you’re saying that someone investing tons of free time in software that greatly benefits countless people, and then gives it away for free, has problems because of a minor update you don’t like and have absolutely zero right to complain about?
Firefox does block auto playing videos and asks the user to explicitly allow it, in the same way access to the webcam / mic / location / notifications is managed.
