    Well that's nice and clear then

    As annoying as it is on some on some sites, if there's a user configurable exception list then I'll be happy. Its important to me to have autoplay with audio on some client facing sites for work.

    Re: Google Chrome 66 has autoplay elements muted by default

    I'd rather have autoplay completely disabled except on whitelisted sites...

    I hate it when I go to a site looking for something really quickly in text format then the next thing there's a video playing from 'somewhere' on the site just because the website has decided that we'll play that video even if you didn't want to watch it.... not to mention bandwidth usage (not that it matters if you're on unlimited but mobile it does)

    Yes I know you can get plugins that do a lot of it but I just see it as extra bloat to a program and imo it's bad user experience on a website too.

    Autoplay elements deserve their own place in hell IMO, right next to popups.

    M66 also fixed audio corruption, which caused music tracks to stop short of completing because they'd throw frame errors.
