Mute Everything Extension

Mute Everything stops all audio playing in your browser with a single click. Enjoy the silence!

Do you ever find yourself scrolling through a bunch of tabs in search of that one video that's still playing? Simply press the Mute Everything button to pause it instantly.

* This extension works by pausing all audio and video elements
* Includes support for common music services (GrooveShark, Pandora, SoundCloud, and many more)
* Works excellently with YouTube videos and HTML5 media
* Plug-in objects can not be paused; they are inaccessible). Instead, such objects are temporarily removed, and can be individually restored with a single click.

This extension is far from perfect... please report any problems through the Feedback page. Please don't use reviews to report specific bugs, as I cannot respond to those.

Andreas (ID: 000000653e3a2551) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/12/2021 I was looking for an extension that explicitly pauses all videos, not just mutes tabs. This extension does just that, so thank you. You should probably change the name though :)

Pavel Dergunov (ID: 000000627526acb7) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/12/2015 1. Extension didn't mute!!! It's stop video (mute audio and stop video - different things, so it's liar extension name ). 2. It can't mute/autostop new pages - only opened previously
