It's insane that browsers just hand over API access to my microphone and/or camera to rando web developers. Yes, I know things like Zoom exist. IMO software like that simply shouldn't be possible on browsers, period.

Making the browser into a general purpose system SDK was a mistake--maybe the biggest mistake in personal computing's history.

This issue is about audio output. Audio and video input are both behind per-site permissions.

		Also, people can and should go to the firefox settings > Permissions and data > Autoplay and change the Default for all websites to "Block Audio" (at least). You can set per-hostname exceptions if you like! CTRL + I > Permissions
