You can now download Google Chrome beta and start muting autoplay videos
- mancerayder 9y agoHow generous! https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-p... It's lunacy that autoplay is still forced. Does anyone else but me have a terrible feeling that the Internet is turning into network television? Now, stuff comes to YOU while previously you had to go to stuff. There's a forced engagement.
- mancerayder 9y agoOh, and also: "The setting to have autoplay content automatically muted is in Chrome 64’s permissions bar. Unfortunately, this isn’t a one-and-done setting — it has to be done for every website you want it applied to — but it will mute sound for any content that is navigated to under the parent domain."
- modzu 9y agofortunately there are disable autoplay extensions -- a must have, along with an adblocker ;)
- masonic 9y agoIf it just mutes videos without stopping them, you still eat bandwidth.
