Off-by-default is an option now for advanced users (such as might be reading HN). On the same page I linked in my earlier comment you are responding to, see:

> You can try out these new policies by setting the experimental flag chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy to "Document user activation is required." in Chrome 64.

Like you, that is my preference as well, and I have set the flag.

Doesn't work. Have you tried it?

1. Go to chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy

2. The options in the drop down are:

A. Default

B. No User Gesture is Required

C. User gesture is required for cross-origin frames

D. Document user activation is required

Select D. Relaunch. Go to ABC News. Autoplays videos.
