    Very cacophonous in the music threads (turned off sound for the site). Also, autoplay-blocker extensions aren't working for the site, which makes me think it's a sneaky-Google-originated site feature rather than user error.

    This is the one I using currently. I always have something like this, an ad blocker, an social media button blocker, something that scrubs YouTube videos of ads, etc.

    @crenca like AutoplayStopper and Disable HTML5 Autoplay, that one's not working for me either.

    Microsoft Edge 121.0.2277.128 on Windows 11 KB5034765, no issues.

    Does seem like it could be Google being sneaky. Not sure of any settings in Chrome that could be related to this.

    Sounds like this would be a good separation/layering test

    Chrome 122.0.6261.58 (64 bit), Win 11 Pro build 22631.3155. Might be this particular Chrome version; I've never had the problem before, though it's reportedly been widespread from time to time (and apparently intentional on Google's part, as there's no explicit setting to turn it off). Will see if the next update solves it - if not, another browser.

    Just checked my version: 121.0.6167.185, running Win 10. My auto play extension still effectively blocking...will have to see when Chrome updates.

    Yea, Google is now "evil" in their own old sense. From search, youtube, ads, it is all too aggressive and I need 4 or so extentions running to tone it down. Firefox might be my main browser sooner rather than later

    Update 2: It's the Malbytes Browser Guard extension. Allowing everything for SBAF doesn't solve the problem for me, I have to completely disable it.
