Tab Muter Extension

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.

kne2t3 (ID: 00000045fdf8830f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/08/2023 It was working well for a while, but it's stop working consistently lately. The only way to fix it is to toggle the on/off on the extension.

Vitor Leão (ID: 0000004d3185d001) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/01/2023 Used for many years but noticed today that its no longer working.

Marcin Kunert (ID: 00000007631d5389) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/24/2023 Works fine. Thanks! I use if for chrome remote desktop, without this i can hear myself and it's so annoying.
