Say goodbye to autoplays: the next Chrome update will block them at the root
Videos that automatically play as soon as you "put your feet" on a website have the potential to be one of the most annoying inventions on the internet, were not just the existence of the videos that automatically play ... even sound. If you are one of the "haters" of this trend, then be prepared to update your Google Chrome because the next version of the browser puts an end to this system.According to the American giant, version 66 of the program will only play videos automatically if the sound is not connected by default; only and when the user interacts with the site; and only in cases where the user has shown interest in consuming multimedia content in the portal that he is visiting.The implementation of these changes was planned for Chrome 64, which was released last January, such as the inclusion of a mute button that completely silences websites that resort to autoplay too often. If you are an assumed hater of this system, you can start by trying the beta version 66, or wait for the official browser version.
