Can we find this auto-generated list of enabled/disabled sites anywhere? Can it be edited manually? Will Chrome notify why a particular site did/didn't auto-play a video?

I like Inbox's recent behaviour that explains why it deems a particular email important - it would be good if this sort of explanation was more prevalent with publicly-available ML systems.

Seems to be this blob: https://github.com/chromium/chromium/blob/b67034891a23389825...

Gah. A blob with no info about it.

Looking a little further, it appears to be a ProtocolBuffer file, but would a bit of documentation hurt?

An early version of the proto I found is:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/5d90890...

So the proto is a red herring, it's basically just a container for a blob in some other format.

https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/80... contains a lot of related files, including https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/80... which explains the format.

I'm surprised that there isn't a plain text version of the list checked in somewhere, but maybe I just missed it.

Also, I wonder where chrome stores the user’s autoplay history? Will it be cleared when wiping history? Cookies? Or is it never wiped, leaving a record of visited sites in its storage?
