Agreed, it should just be a permission like any other. If I'm on a website where I expect to play media I can remember the preference.

They probably don't want to break websites (as autoplay has no permissions model), but breaking the most annoying feature on the web right now is a good thing.

This has already been possible. You can disable sound for all websites in chrome://settings/content/sound

Then, you can enable sound manually for each site in the site settings panel.

Wow, I never knew this! I will definitely be doing it now. Does anyone happen to know if this will overwrite this new learning setting?
