Websites that autoplay videos the moment a visitor lands are not really gunning for the user experience of the year award, in my modest opinion, which is why I am very well looking forward to this Chrome feature that Google has come up with.

Google Chrome will allow you to permanently mute websites.



RoidPolice reports that Google is experimenting with a new feature which will enable users to permanently mute websites on a per domain basis.

Once configured, Chrome will automatically block that page from autoplaying videos with sound.

Google's François Beaufort mentions that thisfeature is still being experimented on by the team.

Websites that have been muted permanently will remain that way until the user manually unmutes them.


This feature is currently available in the latest Canary build of Chrome on the desktop.
