Google Chrome update will bring one of the most requested features to your browser.
Chrome could finally be updated with one of its most requested features.

Chrome developers this month announced the newest Chrome update, Chrome 64 Beta, will enable users to mute annoying autoplay videos.

To use the new feature, click on the green lock icon next to the URL on the webpage you’re hoping to mute. This will summon a new menu.

Next to the sound icon, change the dropdown from Allow (Default) to Always Block On This Site.

After the change, the offending website will never be able to bombard you with audio from an autoplay video again.
