Now Google is offering a solution of sorts in the newest version of Chrome.
Chrome 64, which was released in beta on Friday allows you to have autoplay videos go silent by default. Ultimately, it plans to allow autoplay videos to be blocked entirely, a feature that should come in January, reports The Verge.
Videos aren’t muted by default across the board, you’ll have to do that on a site-by-site basis through Chrome’s Permission’s bar. But it could be some much-needed relief from those sites you love to visit but hate to watch videos on.
Chrome 64 also has includes an improved pop-up blocker, better security to prevent you from being auto-directed somewhere malicious, amongst other improvements.
