This easter egg is fantastic!!! I installed the extension to solve one problem and ended up solving 2!

Exactly what I wanted! Just a couple of minor issues/bugs, however... -I need to toggle the extension everytime I restart Chrome/Windows to get it working again. -Keyboard shortcuts don't seem to work on Windows as it doesn't have the cmd key. Ctrl doesn't work either. EDIT - Reply: The toggle I mentioned refers to enabling/disabling the extension itself. What I found was, whenever Chrome/Windows is closed/shutdown, the extension has to be disabled then re-enabled in order to work upon starting up Chrome again. My guess is that you are unable to reproduce this issue, as I reckon something like this would've been pretty obvious. Unfortunate, but thanks for checking. Another thing I thought of is a priority/whitelist where certain tabs/sites remain unmuted at all times. Thank you also for directing me to the shortcuts page.

My only complaint is the icon is too dark I only see a space where it should be.
