Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
Once upon a time, Chrome had a feature hidden away in chrome://flags to allow users to mute individual tabs by clicking the speaker icon next to the tab's title. This was deemed "not good enough", as the Chrome developers wanted to remove the need for users to manually control tab audio, so it was removed in favour of the "Mute Site" feature.
Chrome can't yet automatically determine which tabs should be playing audio, so I made this extension to let the user make that decision. The button's in a different place due to Chrome API limitations, but apart from that, this extension should work exactly as the old "Mute Tab" feature did.

Расширения предлагает нам вернуть то же классное юзабилити которое было убрано. И это просто великолепно. Теперь вы можете забыть идиотизм криворуких разработчиках гугл хрома намного быстрее. 5\5.
I don't know what's wrong, but this extension isn't working for me. I checked to make sure it was enabled, and it is. Still can't mute tabs. Right clicking on a tab only gives me a "mute site" option. No option to mute the tab. Clicking on the sound icon on a tab does nothing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
works great
Thanks for this extension! Why did they remove the 'mute tab' option from Chrome???
Brilliant, this fixes a broken function on Chrome
очень неудобно, теперь чтобы отключить звук на вкладке необходимо на нее перейти, потом тащить мышь в другую сторону экрана чтобы отключить звук
Does exactly what it says it does. The only request is to have the option to change the color of the extension icon on the top right (if that's even possible) to white or another bright color. I currently have a Dark Mode chrome appearance so the black icon on dark grey background is difficult to see. Obviously the dark mode is something that I installed myself, so it has nothing to do with the functionality of the extension itself :) Thanks!
THANK YOU. Chrome devs had the audacity to remove the tab muting feature for no reason so I had to resort to using this. Also thank you for adding a dark/light theme option!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
honestly thank you so much for creating this extension. i've been living with tab muting UI flag for ages. disappointed on new chrome v71. hope you can keep this updated!
