[update] Opera Mini on iOS 10 supports autoplay, but plays the video fullscreen. Other versions do not autoplay as one would expect from a proxy browser.

[update] Firefox on iOS does not support autoplay. This is very different from Firefox on Android that supports autoplay even with sound.

[update] On Samsung devices, the default browser is Samsung Internet. It is uses the same basis as Chrome, but it’s not updated as frequently.

All yours @c21hornak

@juanmriosv and this is for using custom code to do full bleed video in the first position on the home page?

[juanmriosv]

@c21hornak yes, and the complexity will depend on what they want. For example, if they do not want to see the loading background and they want to replace it with an image, then it adds complexity
