Google Chrome is taking aim at those annoying autoplay videos spreading across the web.<\/b>
\nGoogle is taking aim at one of the biggest scourges of the modern web. Starting in January 2018, the Chrome browser will automatically block noisy autoplay video on webpages.
\u201cOne of the most frequent user concerns is unexpected media playback, which can use data, consume power, and make unwanted noise while browsing,\u201d Google wrote in a blog post . \u201cTo address this, Chrome will be making autoplay more consistent with user expectations and will give users more control over audio.\u201d

In Chrome 64, autoplaying videos will be blocked by default unless they\u2019re muted, or if \u201cthe user has indicated an interest in the media.\u201d That means autoplay will be allowed for a site if you\u2019ve frequently played a video on it or added the site to your mobile homepage. You won\u2019t need to manually play every YouTube video or Twitch stream you select, in other words. Autoplay will also be enabled if you \u201cclicked somewhere on the site during the browsing session\u201d for some reason.
If you want to start blocking unwanted audio from autoplay videos today, try Avram Piltch\u2019s Silent Site Sound Blocker extension for Chrome. Apple’s Safari 11 browser will also allow you to easily stop autoplay videos when it launches with macOS High Sierra on September 25.
Google\u2019s paving the path for the wonderful-sounding feature by adding the ability to completely mute all audio for a given website in Chrome 63, which is currently in the testing phase. The disabling will continue between browsing sessions.
To activate page-muting when Chrome 63 goes live, load the website you want to disable audio for, click on the \u201cPage Info bubble\u201d to the left of the URL, and look for the Sound option. Here\u2019s a picture of it:<\/p>\n
