    One of the most annoying things which users experience nowadays is auto playing videos ads on websites. Let’s learn how to get rid of this.

    How to Stop Sites from Autoplaying videos in Google Chrome

    Sometimes you find yourself into a situation when you visit a particular website and from nowhere a video start playing automatically in the background. These type of video ads not only disturb users while checking the website, it also consumes data for nothing.

    In Earlier version of Chrome browser, users have to enable this chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy flag to disable auto playing of video ads or disable media auto play in Site settings of Chrome.

    Unfortunately, both options are missing in latest version of Chrome browser and there’s no way users can stop sites from auto playing videos.

    As of writing this blog post, officially there’s no way to disable this behavior in Chrome browser, but possible with help of third-party extension called Disable HTML5 Autoplay (Reloaded). It stops websites from autoplay and preloading of HTML5 video and audio players in Chrome browser.
