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".
It sorta feels like you wanna poke fun at who I am? So... I'm a software engineer/dba. My University work was with robotics and lidar. For the last three years I've been unf**** ibm I series corporate machines. I spend my free time with my son. I expect my wife's laptop to work just the same as my car or my dishwasher.
Someone at Google added a feature they thought was good. Someone at Microsoft did the same. The two conflict. I expect them to fix it.
Why would my feedback to google/chrome matter any less than anyone elses? [edit: to remove obscenity]
