This has been annoying me for a while, a lot of sites seem to allow auto playing movies (sometimes with sound) when I visit them.
It is probably my problem, becoming a grumpy old bastard but I dislike the autoplay option.
Luckily, you can disable this feature in Chrome by opening a new tab and entering this url:
chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy
Then choose “Document user activiation is required” and you feel like you’re be back in 2017, without all this video stuff 🙂
