Not only are annoying, but also consume data and battery of our device and force us to listen to and view a content in the many times we are not interested.

 

 

Internet users all over the world carry time complaining about this problem in forums and social networks. This was confirmed last Thursday, Mounir Lamouri, a software engineer of Google Chrome in an entry published on the blog of the company.

 

 

"Not all users have the same preferences about the videos that play automatically", wrote the computer.

 

 

That is why, he explained Lamouri, the new version of the browser (Chrome, 64), account with an option to mute those videos.

 

 

To activate it, first you need to update Chrome and download the latest version. Once this is done, you will have to select the icon on the left side of the address bar and click on the option "Sound" from the drop down menu and allow it, or block it.

 

 

You can also choose"always Block on this site" so that the autoplay does not happen again on that page.

 

 

Another option is to activate the extension in the Silent Site Sound Blocker to mute all tabs automatically.

But there are more alternatives within that and other browsers that, in addition to silence, allow you to totally block the automatic playing (and avoid the energy expenditure that involves).

 

 

It is hidden functions that you can configure by following a few simple steps. We tell you what are available in the major browsers.
