I thought Chrome fixed this? Websites are getting around it somehow?

Chrome blocks the audio for me, but still allows the video to play. I use uBlock to remove the video player entirely, it is only information pollution and adds nothing of value to the article.

FWIW my chrome only autoplayed with sound muted (v 67.0.3396.87 (Official Build) (64-bit))
