    You know that panicked feeling when you've got a zillion browser tabs open, and one of them starts blaring music?

    Google is about to put an end to that -- the single most annoying Web browsing feature.

    In a soon-to-be-released update to the Chrome browser, Google will no longer allow sounds and videos to load in background tabs. You will have to click on a tab to load a video or streaming media file -- even if it is set to auto-play.

    Ironically, when you click on the CNN link "Read CNN Article" the first thing it does is start a video talking at you about "Alphabet "
