> IMO the best solution is to just mute the autoplaying media until the user interacts with the page This seems like a good compromise but doesn't sound like enough on its own. Sometimes I just open pages and look at the resulting video and it would be puzzling for it to be muted. Or does "interacts with" include merely viewing the tab? Even though it's religion for me, lots of people never or rarely ever "open in new tab". So this design change would eliminate the benefit.
