Firefox has a setting that prevents audio from autoplaying as well. Especially after Google’s latest endeavours, I can’t support Chrome, and with their hands in Chromium, the well is kind of poisoned. Microsoft is only slightly better than Google in regards to privacy.
Edit: tbf, you didn’t say you use either of those, but statistics point to it being the likely browsers for most people reading the comment.
I tend to use Firefox for my media needs (YouTube, streaming platforms, anime sites), but I try not to have more than one FF window so I don’t have to select a window when clicking on the taskbar icon. So, I do all my other browsing on Chromium platforms (Chrome, Edge, Opera), each with a different purpose, like all of my research goes on Chrome and my social media/ utility apps go on Opera because of the workspace segregation functionality. Privacy issues notwithstanding. I wish there was a way to accomplish this without chromium, I just don’t see enough diversity in browser options. So, I settle for Chrome, which used to be pretty great but is becoming cruddier with each successive update.

Firefox is the best browser and no one will change my opinion!
