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.

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" .

It's a little disheartening to be told that the work I've put into this is "unnecessary" :( Plus, rating the extension poorly suggests to other people that it doesn't work, which by your own admission isn't the case. Perhaps you should instead write a review of Chrome if its developers don't focus on the features you need.

FYI - This extension is NOT currently needed as this feature was re-added back to Google Chrome in version 100 on March 29, 2022. On Chrome versions 100-135+ you can enable it by going to "chrome://flags" and changing "#enable-tab-audio-muting" to Enabled. It's true that this flag could be removed in the future, but I think it's unlikely within the next year. You can track the status of it here: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/q/tab+audio+muting
