How to Prevent Autoplay Videos from Playing After Downloading in Chrome

Are you tired of annoying autoplay videos playing automatically after downloading files in Google Chrome? If so, you're not alone. Fortunately, there's a simple solution to prevent these unwanted video clips from launching without your permission.

To start, launch Chrome and navigate to the settings page by typing `chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy` into the address bar and hitting Enter. Once you're on this page, scroll down until you find the 'Media' section and toggle off the switch next to 'Autoplay.'

Alternatively, if you have an Android device, you can disable autoplay videos in Chrome's site settings. To do so, go to Settings > Site Settings and look for the 'Autoplay' option. Toggle it off, and you should no longer encounter autoplay videos.

It's worth noting that while this solution works for most websites, some sites may still be able to bypass these restrictions using various workarounds. However, this is a good starting point to prevent those annoying autoplay videos from playing automatically after downloading files in Chrome.
