Web Boost is a McAfee AntiVirus software extension for Google Chrome that will prevent content like videos from auto playing.
If enabled, a Web Boost icon appears in the top-right corner of your Chrome window:
Web Boost will block any videos that try to play automatically on BigMarker. When videos are paused, a blue badge appears over the Web Boost icon showing how many videos have been paused on that webpage or browser tab.
When a video is paused, you see the following message overlaid on the video:
