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.

Thanks for this. Why Google removed the option to do this I have no idea. Any chance of getting this to be on the tabs themselves? That would be great.
Thank-you so much for this extension. I held on to the "Mute Tab" chrome build as long as I could before a forced update. I didn't realize how often I muted individual tabs until I couldn't do it any more. You have given me some control over my browsing experience back.
Ever since chrome removed the tab muting feature I have felt as if my very existence has been hollow. This extension works perfectly and restored meaning to my life.
