Late last year in December Google Chrome 64 beta for desktop introduced a new feature which automatically muted autoplay videos on any website. The feature was expected to be released with the stable release of Chrome 64, but until now the feature had not made its way to the stable channel. Towards the end of the last month, the Chrome 66 update for Android finally introduced the feature to the stable channel and now the company has started pushing the update for the desktop version of Chrome.
In case a user doesn’t have any browsing history, Chrome will allow autoplay videos on over 1,000 websites which have the highest percentage of visitors that play media with the sound. The browser will then gradually learn about the user’s preferences and alter the list of websites accordingly.
