Chrome’s autoplay update fractures web-game history

This is from the autoplaying video/audio update already available.

I agree that modals are probably next (hopefully the "hold on a second" modals that appear when you leave the document window). It will be interesting to see how that's handled.

I appreciate Google's attempt at trying to fix the web but not everything is evil. Anything that has a mass effect and is generalized like this should at least offer some sort of opt-out. The whole point of web applications is that most if not all features should work indefinitely past, present, and future.
