Immute: Mute Tabs via Keyboard Extension

Finally, you can toggle mute in individual Chrome tabs from the comfort of your keyboard! With Immute, you can configure keyboard shortcuts to gain more control over your browser's sound output!
This includes functionality like:
- Muting the current active tab
- Muting ALL tabs
- Muting all tabs except the one you're on

Immute requires NO extra permissions!

NOTE: When you have this extension enabled, Chrome's \"Mute site\" option present in tab right-click menus will not be functional! Immute offers a modular tab-based approach to managing sound, rather than controlling by website.
