AutoMute Extension

Are you getting tired of obnoxious ads blaring sound while you're browsing? AutoMute automatically mutes every tab opened in your browser, effectively allowing you to opt-in to hear audio in a web page, instead of forcing you to opt-out.

Chris Rhodes (ID: 00000096e02dcfca) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/02/2022 Maybe my definition of domain is different from theirs. I'm not sure this extension is worth having anymore.

I (ID: 00000027fc223f84) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/13/2022 Adding to the chorus: this extension used to work perfectly but something broke a couple months ago. Now, even if youtube with wildcards is on my whitelist, youtube videos opened in new tabs will be muted. I noticed that if I go into the extension options with muted tabs already open and hit 'Save', the webpages that are on the whitelist will unmute themselves. So clearly the whitelist still works, but something is now preventing the extension from automatically applying the rule to new tabs. I hope the developers can take a look and debug the issue.

Chris Mack (ID: 00000013e5bf763b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/21/2022 Not sure why but as of today it started muting every new tab, even whitelisted pages.

Tobias Hildebrandt (ID: 00000027c3dd9cfd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/16/2022 Since the latest Chrome update (99) there is a weird bug where a new tab starts muted even though it's on the whitelist. Other than that a really great and simple extension.
