Describe the bug

Unexpectedly and seeming at random, when I load a video, it begins playing enough though I've previously set Autoplay off in Player preferences. When I then go to Player preferences, Autoplay is checked (enabled) which is not how I had previously left it.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Set Autoplay off by unchecking the Autoplay checkbox in Player preferences, and clicking Save preferences
  2. Browse through videos, usually opening them in new tabs, but not always.
  3. Eventually, a video will unexpectedly autoplay upon loading.
    3.5. Immediately going to Player preferences will have the Autoplay checkbox enabled.

Logs

Can't reproduce

Unfortunately, I haven't noticed a deterministic "do this to make it happen immediately for sure" set of steps. It just keeps happening, unexpectedly.

What sort of information should I try to collect to help diagnose it?

When something is not working as expected, but is not easy to reproduce, so it may be something related to Youtube and not Invidious.
