As other's have mentioned, it's currently broken due to a change in Chrome. Now it works to mute the site, rather than the tab. But worse, it can break your browser, which is why I'm posting this review - as a warning to others. While the extension's mute now works across a site, it is still separate from the built in "mute site" option, meaning you can't natively unmute a site muted with the extension. And since this setting is preserved, if you have muted any site and then remove or disabl... Show more

Great extension, I've used it for years, but recently discovered that chrome has a "Tab audio muting UI control" flag that you can click on the sound icon on the tab to mute/unmute only that tab. Since the extension hasn't been working well for a while, I'll stick with the native feature.

Semi-broke with Chrome's recent update. As stated by someone else, disabling Global media controls control Cast start/stop can semi-help, but it's unreliable.

My workaround is to pause all other active audio tabs and reopen whatever tab was broken into a tab (and even still doesn't a... Show more

Very good extension, though mainly this is a reply to Demons Riot's post. There's a way to fix it. Go to chrome//flags and find "Global media controls control Cast start/stop" Disable that and it removes Chrome's new Media Control function that broke the extension in the update - muting individual tabs should now work as intended

Broke with recent Chrome update. Using this extension for Twitch, and now all audio plays through one tab regardless of if it's muted or not. Edit: I have tested with Twitch, and removing the extension does not fix this issue. The tabs remain muted, and one tab controls the audio of all other tabs. All other tabs have the icon represent a muted symbol, even when not muted. Edit 2: This issue still persists. I've noticed one more thing, while using it, the singular tab that works has the ext...
