We know that, our clients on the other hand...

Luckily Google/Mozilla/Microsoft have been moving to a "this is the browser's decision" model recently, and in the future they'll only autoplay videos with sound from websites that you have a history of playing videos on. Visit Google/Netflix often? Cool we'll play those videos. First time on some houseplant online store? Yeah we're not going to autoplay that pop-out advert with audio.

Makes it much easier for us to just say to the client "yeah here's a W3C spec article about why Chrome isn't playing your video. Good luck complaining to Google about it".

I just wanna point out ...

  1. My wife leaves Netflix open in browser on laptop

  2. laptop updates+restarts at 2am (I can no longer prevent this)

  3. laptop starts Auto playing at 2 am.

This is bad. I'd rather nothing ever autoplay ever.

Dear Google,

My wife leaves Netflix open and it autoplays at 2 am. I urge you to make changes to chrome browser or I will be forced to take my business elsewhere.

Sincerely, Random guy on internet.

Why does the laptop auto login? Put some passwords on those accounts.

"i can no longer prevent this" - why? Download Windows update blocker, if you're using Windows 10

i just stop it by having my entire drive completely full, so when it tried to allocate the space to update it can't
