Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Are you tired of getting jump-scared by loud audio every time your mouse accidentally hovers over a YouTube thumbnail?

Preview Muter for YouTube is a lightweight, simple extension that forces all YouTube inline preview videos to stay perfectly silent. The thumbnail video will still play visually so you can see what the video is about, but your eardrums will be protected!

✨ Features:

• True Silence: Completely mutes the audio of hovering thumbnail previews on the YouTube homepage and search results.

• Visuals Kept Intact: Previews still play the video, just without the sound.

• Easy Toggle: Includes a beautiful, iOS-style glass morphism popup menu to quickly turn the muter ON or OFF.

This would be PERFECT, except for the fact that a tiny split-second of audio can still be heard from some previews... which is so annoying! If this could be patched, it would be a great addition to my extensions in the eternal fight against YouTube and their wish to make using their platform a nightmare.
