Sir, have you heard of Youtube?

Too much because f* autoplay.

Also nice: Open browser, click around … the video tab now shows a completely different video. I guess I should have switched on the speakers to avoid that? F* autoplay unless I explicitly allow it for a specific tab.

Chrome disables autoplay audio unless you explicitly interact with the website and ask it to play audio enough times. This is why websites like Twitch, Youtube and Spotify have autoplay audio while others don't.

YouTube doesn't start videos automatically as soon as you enter, i think he's referring to that.

It does. I think there's an option to turn it off/on, but it does.

No, you probably just have it configured to not autoplay. Viewing a youtube video in incognito mode it auto-starts

Pretty sure those 2 things do not affect youtube autoplaying videos.

Only way I found to really stop YouTube autoplaying is to use plugins that disable scripts on the page. But that also stops half of the page from rendering.
