7 years ago +1 Its unfortunate this has been amended sooner considering it has been up-voted several times and spin-offs of its issue has been reported and closed but not fixed properly though there are also other issues which technically pertain to the same issue #6830 #1533 #1982 #6251
It's been frustrating for me when you've put your PC to sleep or minimized the browser (sometimes accidentally) and as soon as you open the browser you've got a mixture of sounds coming left right and center as though you're in disco, simultaneously everything begins playing in all the tabs and you don't know where the hell the sound is coming from and you can't immediately begin to turn it off because it takes at least a minute for each tab to respond. So I imagine you understand how it can be frustrating when you've got around a dozen tabs or more.
Personally, I don't understand why many users have been asking to improve the mute functionality when the real issue is the tabs unnecessarily using up system resources for content which isn't being viewed. #8254
As @Jacalz suggests any tab should not begin to automatically load content with 'Show tab previews on hover' selected but also when it is un-selected and when the browser is re-opened from minimize or system sleep.
@bbondy would you're suggestion in #1982 of adding an option of pausing (& muting) be more beneficial than not loading any content? I make mention of this fact because I suppose you're suggestion implies the notion that content is allowed to buffer behind the scene for easy later viewing, where as my suggestion and probably @Jacalz suggestion implies that system resources (bandwidth and memory) doesn't have to be unnecessarily used for the constant annoyance to stop. I think this has also be apprehended by @bradleyrichter over here #6251 if you want to cc him about merging this. I guess the caveat to this is that this is the main purpose of 'Show preview on hover', however, you may disagree with me but I don't think the average user who selects the 'Show preview on hover' option ever spends more than several second on that page, so the automatic playing of items should have been apprehended with the implementation of the feature, don't you think?

I get this feedback from users often, especially since Brave's default behavior is to preview tabs on hover. When the browser starts in a previous state, a quick run of the mouse across a few YouTube tabs results in all of them simultaneously playing audio over one another.

6 years ago +1 I use Brave primarily for videos and frequently have several "queued" tabs of videos. Sometimes I will unintentionally trigger the preview and start one or more videos when I move my mouse to another window.
If I minimize the window when there are "queued" tabs that haven't been rendered yet, all the pages will render when I restore the window and all videos will play at once.
