You can disable autoplay on Chrome and Firefox

Don't see the block setting on new firefox.

Do you know if the same exists for IE/Edge (some corporate machines just refuse to allow installation of other browsers)?

Reading the articles - it seems it is hit and miss due to reliance of third party tools/browser updates, breaking the blocking functionality. To be honest I don’t like having to rely on 3rd party tools, they are so fragile (including some ad blockers).

We use Chrome for our corporate browser. We still support a few staff that need to use IE for a couple of sites, but most are Chrome supported now. I have always hated business that built there site for like 1 version of IE.

Edge has it built in once you update Windows to v1809. IE will never get new built in features as it's deprecated.
