When did it become acceptable for websites...

... to autoplay videos with sound? It used to be a no-no.

I went to a page on ESPN yesterday and not only did it autoplay with sound, but I couldn't stop it while the advertisement played.

CNN has been pissing me off with their autoplay. If you are using Chrome, get the Disable HTML5 autoplay extension.

Works for me and prob alot of other sites as well.

Fuck ESPN's web site. I quit going there years ago because of all the crap that popped up and played.

Haha yeah, so did I! That comment may have reflected the last time I visited that site
