Chrome, current release, on a Mac...
All I know is that I clicked the tab, and then music started playing, and scroll down and this video is going.
FWIW, I'm using an adblocker in Chrome (Nano Adblocker, which is a fork of uBlock Origin).
But the same thing happened in Safari at first, where I don't have any blocker installed. Then I quit Safari and opened it again, it re-opened back to the same page, and this time the video didn't auto-play; it turns out current Safari on Mac has an explicit option that prevents sites from auto-playing video with sound (so that is apparently kicking in and stopping it). Not sure why Chrome is still allowing it to play.
There also aren't even any visible controls for the (embedded) video, so I can't even pause the damn thing. Have to mute the entire computer, or close the tab.
