STR (Nightly with block autoplay enabled):
1. Open https://www.apple.com/nz/mac-pro/
2. When prompted for permission to autoplay click "block" with remember checked.

Observed result: black screen.

Expected result: website loads...

The video is //www.apple.com/media/us/mac-pro/2013/16C1b6b5-1d91-4fef-891e-ff2fc1c1bb58/videos/macpro_intro_desktop.mp4 and it doesn't have an audio track. Safari allows media without an audio track to autoplay, whereas Chrome and we do not.

I suspect Chrome has Apple.com in its whitelist.
Reaching out to Apple via email.
