When this extension is installed, every new website that is loaded by the browser will be muted by default unless it's found on the extension's whitelist.
Several features allow you to control which sites sound and which don't:

- You can mute or unmute any site just by clicking the extension icon, just like it's normally done with the tab speaker icon.

- When a website starts trying to play sounds you'll be notified by this extension. Then you can unmute it for the current browser session or add it to the white list. If you ignore the notification or close it, the website will be automatically added to black list.

- A website that is whitelisted will be unmuted by default and you won't receive any notification.

- KILLER FEATURE: This extension is only triggered when a tab tries to play audio. This improves the extension efficiency and avoids having unnecessary muted speaker icons on tabs that do not sound, giving a cleaner appearance to the browser tabs.

- The extension icon gives you information about the current website white or black list status: If the speaker icon is white, the url is whitelisted. If the speaker icon is strikethrough and contains a black dot, the url is blacklisted.

Simple, effective and powerful

Lex Wassenberg (ID: 0000004caae51b96) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/10/2023 Always blocks translate.google.co.uk, no matter what I do. Works on most other sites, though.

M S (ID: 0000003858898b90) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/25/2022 Thanks you for you work. But plug. without asking, will be useful. with asking every time, and play sound for 1s is useless.

TBO1981 (ID: 0000000288be37be) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/19/2021 Does the opposite of what I was looking for but still works for what I needed, Yes there is a some sec of audio when a new tab is opened but that's no big deal. so far works well

wc intel (ID: 0000001a77c706ec) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/15/2021 was clever now not working as was

Luis Lobo (ID: 0000004e23f59eee) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/24/2020 THE BEST. I did a search searching over a hundred extensions. I found the logic of this the best, because the solution is definitely the most intelligent. Thank you!
