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.

The plug-in keeps getting corrupted and crashing my browser. I have tried "repairing" it through Chrome's repair function, but it still is causing problems for me. It worked well when it worked, but unfortunately it's not working for me.
works great when it works. consistently stops working forcing you to restart it or open a new browser window
Thank you, works for great for me. I really needed this and your extension helped me much.
We all know why we need this hahaha! Now I can browse all pornsites in 1 tab.

Really good add-on but lately has started suffering from an issue where it gets stuck on either sound on or muted and you have to restart the plug-in to make it work again. Happens at least once a day.
All was great until today 4/13/22. I could mute one tab at a time so I could decided which tabs I wanted to hear. Today it now has either full site is muted or not muted. I will have multiple of same site open. I.E. twitch. I do not always want to hear all the streamers I am listening to at once. The icon is shown either as slashed threw or not but that has no baring on if the tab is muted or not. i used to be able to click the icon. I am not sure if it is an update glitch and will eventually be fixed or is it just no longer useful for what I want to use it for anymore. I loved this feature until it stopped working properly.
Super useful and yet simple extension.I am soooo grateful for you developing this excellent extension, THANKS!! Henrik
Really awesome little extension! I love using it on individual twitch tabs to lurk on streamers but also have the view count while watching another stream. 10/10 definitely recommend :)
It works but it's limited. tabs should start with sound disabled by default, but sound is enabled until you click the icon. No means to specify specific URLs for sound muting. Sill looking for a complete sound muting solution to combat the tyranny of user-hostile web-degelopers.
