The autoplay blocking involves a complicated set of heuristics involving the domain name and your past behavior with that domain...

  So I just checked my heuristics at chrome://media-engagement/ and zdnet.com has a personal MEI of 0.0 with 7 visits (for comparison, YouTube is 0.76), and the stated threshold at the top of that page for allowing video with sound is min 0.2 max 0.3. So just ugh. Disappointed in Chrome that zdnet.com is somehow considered high enough quality to play videos with audio automatically. :(

    Man, the first time this happened to me on ZDNet, I literally tweeted out to their Twitter account that they are idiots for putting that pattern in place. It's the loudest autoplay I have ever heard.

    zdnet.com has a score of 0 for me, and it still autoplayed.
