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.

FYI - This extension is NOT currently needed as this feature was re-added back to Google Chrome in version 100 on March 29, 2022. On Chrome versions 100-135+ you can enable it by going to "chrome://flags" and changing "#enable-tab-audio-muting" to Enabled. It's true that this flag could be removed in the future, but I think it's unlikely within the next year. You can track the status of it here: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/q/tab+audio+muting
Just what I needed thank you !!
best thing I've ever installed
Working well so far, anyone else's Youtube mute button suddenly stop working properly? That's what lead me here. Not sure if Chrome or a change on Youtube's end conflicting with my uBlock configuration (again)
can't live without it
I dunno ab all the negative reviews, but i've been using this extension for a while now and I haven't faced any issues or bugs. One thing I'd like to see tho is a shortcut to make it easier to mute tabs, but that's just me being lazy. otherwise 10/10 software.
Works great in Chromium Ungoogled (`brew install eloston-chromium` via Homebrew on macOS). Thank you!
Started muting whole websites and now mutes tabs even when unselected and needs uninstalling. Chrome needs to just have a one click mute.
