#182I still find it amusing that they consider auto-play video OK as long as it's muted. Sound is the problem, but so is auto-playing itself.
v61 allows to turn that off: chrome://flags/#autoplay-policy

#183Many big channels show black screens with the sound on if you are using adblockplus, but who cares about such channels?!

In Germany you'll get 1GB per month for 5$. And probably not LTE.
Blame the government. They sold the 3g spectrum frequencies to the phone companies at insane prices. The German consumers are still paying for it.
I actually don't think it's such a bad thing. Just wanted to point that out ;)

...who is not the broker.
Let's get back in times when there was TV but there was no regulation yet. A channel surely had to be the broker and set the standards. Internet is young. There will be some regulations and standards, eventually.
Online advertising has existed for over 25 years. [1] Online ad brokers (i.e., competitors with Google) have existed for nearly 20 years. It is incredibly disingenuous of you to pretend as if Google is in any way "forced" to play both gatekeeper and ad broker, like no-one else is trying to compete in that space. Developing Chrome was a deliberate choice by Google to position themselves to own the means by which users consume ads, search (ads), and video (ads).
