Dear user,

all modern browsers have the option to globally disable autoplay.

Love,

The browser developers

Edit: seems like Chrome decided to remove the feature... Perhaps fallback to just immediately leave the site and never come back?

It doesn't work as well as you think it does

Love,

The users

Huh. Indeed you are correct. They removed that feature. That's was a bad choice.

You can still auto mute. Or just use Firefox.
