Dear Internet: Please, PLEASE, stop setting up videos to autoplay on page load. This can create confusion (if not embarrassment) as said pages are loaded, or reloaded when the browser is restarted, etc.
I can dig around for both plug-ins and browser settings to try and hem such things in, but it's a pain in the ass. Just … don't do it, okay?

Chrome Extension: Sound Tabs. Any tab that is broadcasting audio is a slight yellow (default) instead of the typical blue.

It has a per-site setting — so I can enable it permanently on sites that show good behavior.
I actually ran across that setting yesterday, in a different context, and am trying it out.
