A pref to disable autoplay might be, though. If autoplay is disabled by default, Web authors will take counter-measures and start playback from JavaScript. However, if autoplay is honored by default but the user can turn in off as a pref, it could be that Web authors won't bother to take counter-measures. Other than that, it might be worthwhile to investigate if there's a bug that causes various non-YouTube (Brightcove?) video embeds to autoplay on Android. On multiple occasions, when I've navigated to TV-affiliated news sites that have had textual news and a clip from the same organization's TV news, the clip has started to autoplay on Android.
