There’s also built-in preferences, similar to Firefox, to adjust or whitelist/blacklist autoplay site-by-site or across the board Apple has a page explaining how to adjust these settings on a Mac. Safari by default blocks audio in autoplay videos. The above should work in both the desktop and the mobile versions of Firefox. Preferences to block or adjust autoplay on a site can be set by clicking on the URL box’s circular-“i” logo and adjust “autoplay sound.” One can also click the gear icon and adjust preferences for Firefox overall, or add a site to a whitelist/blacklist list.

If you don’t have browsing history, Chrome allows autoplay for over 1,000 sites where we see that the highest percentage of visitors play media with sound. It’s also designed to automatically determine if autoplay should play or not, depending on the site (such as YouTube) or on usage according to Google’s company blog:Ĭhrome does this by learning your preferences.
Chrome now mutes sound in autoplay videos.
