Overview

Re-enables the "Mute Tab" feature once found in Chrome itself.

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. Having trouble? Email support: support@tab.muter.computer If you find Tab Muter useful, feel free to leave me a tip: https://ko-fi.com/sersorrel This extension is free software; the source code is available at https://github.com/sersorrel/mute-tab.

Freak'n Awesome! Exactly what I needed. You can (easly) set the short cut in (chrome) extensions manager and use the key board short cut to mute individual full screen windows (this helps if you have multiple vidoe feeds and you want to mute each one separately). BIG Thank you Ash Holland! (P.S. What's another word for donkey? --Marty Bass(see comment below) is just a dumb stupid Donkey Hole who doesn't know what it's talking about.)

Works well. Just wish it wasn't a necessary extension. Wish you could put it inside the tab's right-click menu rather than in the extension menu. (I assume this is part of the API limit that you talked about in your description). Well done on nice work on this extension.

This should not be necessary. It has worked for me so far. But developers should just enable muting using the tab. The one star is for "unnecessary" .
