Google has released a new version of its Chrome – Chrome 64 – Internet browser which lets users permanently mute websites that autoplay videos. It will also mute the ads across devices, which is essentially replacing the previous “mute tab” feature that was only temporary.
“Available on Windows, Mac and Linux, the new version – Chrome 64 lets you permanently mute websites that autoplay videos,” The Independent reported late on Thursday.
Users need to click the “View Site Information” symbol on the left-hand edge of the “omnibar” or the address bar combined with the Google search box, to mute a site that automatically plays videos.

“1 out of every 5 user feedback reports submitted on Chrome for desktop mention some type of unwanted content,” notes Google’s Chromium blog.
The search engine giant is also adding High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging support to Chrome 64 browser for Windows users. The feature will require a PC with the Fall Creators Update, a HDR-compatible monitor and graphics card. The latest version of Chrome also protects Mac and Windows device users against the “Meltdown” and “Spectre” processor vulnerabilities, according to The Verge.
