WARNING: Auto-playing video ads that are not muted

Yeah. Also, TIL you can "Mute Tab" in Chrome before anything starts playing.

Please elaborate.

Chrome at some recent point grew a "Mute Tab" option on the per-tab right-click menu.

Right click, mute tab.

@mattbeckman said you could do it before anything starts playing, is that possible?

Ctrl+M on firefox mutes a tab. Helped me a few times.
