Google Chrome finally blocked websites with auto play videos that have sounds



Google blocked annoying websites with auto play videos that start with the sound blaring in Mobile, Tablet and Desktop Google Browser. Chrome (version 66) includes changes to auto play videos that mean the browser will only play them automatically if the sound isn’t playing by default, or if you click and interact with the site, or have previously “shown an interest in media on the site.”

 These changes were originally scheduled for Chrome 64, which arrived in January with an option to permanently mute annoying websites that abuse auto play videos with the sound on by default. Google delayed the additional auto play changes to Chrome 66, but they’re now appearing in the beta channels of Chrome ahead of a public release next month. Google’s additional steps will mean that auto play videos with sound blasting out of your speakers should be a thing of the past, and you can always take the extra step of completely muting a site if you happen to click and interact and the sound turns on.

 Users have been able to mute all sound by default from a particular site, but not block the video from playing on that site. Third-party tools and settings that block particular content from loading have been available for a while to fill that gap, but now Google is baking a system in that it thinks will work well for the majority of users.
