Well , would you look at that . Google Chrome is eventually getting its act together , at least when it total to all those annoying autoplay videos .
The late sack of the connection internet browser , Chrome 66 , mutes autoplay videos and unmutes them if you ’re the kind of maniac who wants it to do such a affair .
You ’ll still see autoplay telecasting , but you wo n’t learn them unless you have a habit of clicking on them ( or if they ’re audio - costless ) . The machine - unmute is base on whether you ’ve engaged with autoplay videos on that particular situation in the past times ( measured byGoogle ’s Media Engagement Indextool ) , or have that site saved to your home screenland on your mobile gadget .
That means videos on YouTube will probably autoplay unless you otherwise forbid it , but your average autoplay video will be as tranquil as the grave .
desire to assure you never get wind a damn autoplay video for as long as you ’re on God ’s green ground ? you’re able to keep your Media Engagement Index broken by avoid watching autoplay picture for more than seven seconds or continue the picture size smaller than 200×140 pixels in your web browser . you could see how brusk your attending span is when it comes to autoplay videos by going to chrome://media - engagement/ in your address bar .
If this all sounds conversant , it ’s because Google ’s beenteasing us with muted autoplay video accompaniment for months . In Chrome 64 , the feature of speech was included as a user - choose option in the URL cake , letting Chrome exploiter adjudicate whether or not they desire to see any sound recording on a site at all . cause it a more reflexive and seamless feature is by all odds a plus , but I ’m hoping Google and its Engagement Index do n’t get the amiss musical theme and embark on blast ads for laptops while I ’m in a depository library .
