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? I no longer actively maintain this extension, but you can still email me: cws-support@keysmash.solutions If you find Tab Muter useful, feel free to leave me a tip: https://ko-fi.com/keysmashes This extension is free software; the source code is available at https://codeberg.org/keysmashes/mute-tab.
