facebook videos now autoplay with sound with this extension, when they are default-muted without. #7

I developed this specifically to autoplay and unmute the videos. I find it much nicer that way. Feel free to add a PR if you want to add it as an option. |

Ugh. I really don't want auto-unmute. Is there a way that could be made optional? I'd happily toggle a setting for it if it existed. Possibly would be willing to send a PR if I got a few pointers on where in the code to touch. based on the README, you mention "add a progress bar and playback controls anywhere on the web that they should rightfully be!" so I expected the Chrome extension to do only that. It may be worth mentioning there that you autoplay all videos with sound. |

You should give a PR a go! Look at the video event listeners in the respective functions in content.js and then add a setting in popup.js and background.js . It should be pretty straightforward with a bit of trial and error. Fun too! "add a progress bar and playback controls anywhere on the web that they should rightfully be!" means that I 8000 add native video controls and they are unmuted by default actually. I didn't add any extra functionality to achieve this behavior. |

just did. It wasn't too hard. First bit of extension development I've ever done, though I do plenty of js / html day to day so it wasn't much of a leap. |
Without this extension, autoplaying facebook videos by default start muted for me. With it, they autoplay with sound. Which is so far, more annoying than the problem this extension solves for me.
This is most annoying in timeline, but for sake of repro I took one of those videos and got a link to it, and see the same behavior there: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=962863829157574&ref=sharing
