Auto-play videos are viciously annoying, but in some cases you will see a small speaker icon on your tabs. The speaker icon shows you which tab is playing the video. Click the speaker icon and it will mute the video so you do not have to visit the page and mute the video manually. Enter this into your web browser address bar chrome://flags/#enable-tab-audio-muting and Chrome’s experimental options will appear. Make sure the “Audio muting UI control” option is highlighted. • How are some web pages able to play videos automatically without showing the speaker icon?

Alienating an entire loyal customer base that already use your product is not a very smart way to run your business. Maybe someday you'll see the error of your ways and continue to support our OS but by that time I'll be using Safari so I won't even care. Can you just do me one small favor? Please don't run any more Chrome commercials on my TV. Jlc2ay 26/9/2012, 17:46 น. I just started having this issue as well. Luckily I don't need Flash to download Firefox. Adjust quickbooks for mac 2016 sales tax due.

I have been happily using Chrome on my Mac since before it was officially available (using the nightly builds) and I've felt it was superior to all other browsers. But this problem has single-handedly caused me to go back to Firefox and I have to say that I'm impressed with what they've done while I was gone. At this point, I'm seriously considering installing Firefox on all of my computers and ditching Chrome since Google obviously doesn't care about its users.

Anyway, please be aware that people still want to continue their current system which implies to not update Mac OS X 10.5.x to a higher version. The currently annoying point is that Chrome continues to pop-up the message telling that the Adobe Flash player is out of date, while the 'Learn More'-link does not provide the information you give here. And the solution proposed by Google to at least disable such messages is to start Chrome with a flag from command line to disable those message. This is as well very unfortunate, because first there maybe would be another important message and second who does want to / can at all do that? I could but I won't. If you keep that solution, people staying for the time being with Mac OS X 10.5.x will have to switch to another browser.
