This extension does not care what the tab's hostname is. This is where the Mute Tab extension comes to the picture. However, sometimes the user needs to temporarily silent a tab. So if there is a hostname which is not supposed to play audios and it still does (like video advertisements for instance), the browser will silent the hostname entirely for you. What is the 'Mute Tab' extension and how does it work?īy default browsers just support muting of a hostname (to do so, simply right-click on a tab that is noisy and select 'Mute Site' item).

does not use any resource while not being used.

mute and unmute all tab in the current window or other windows.

Most modern browsers support muting of the hostnames by default, so there is no need for an extension to duplicate this functionality. Note that this extension does not have any sort of background activities like observing tabs and auto muting. The nonpersistent background page helps the extension to be as lightweight as possible.

This extension uses a nonpersistent background page which means it does not use any resources from your browser unless it is actually performing an action. This extension also can perform all these actions by setting custom keyboard shortcuts. Basically, you have all the filtering combinations to make noisy tabs silent with just one click.

The extension offers a toolbar popup that allows the user to mute and unmute the active tab, all background tabs in the current window, all background tabs in all other windows and all background tabs altogether. The 'Mute Tab' extension brings the missing tab sound control to your browser.
