Features & Capabilities

AutoMute is a simple yet powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by automatically muting each new tab the instant it is opened. This means no more unexpected sounds or ads playing when you open multiple tabs at once. Whether you're working, studying, or just browsing, AutoMute helps you maintain a quiet and distraction-free environment with zero effort.

The extension runs silently in the background, ensuring that every newly opened tab starts muted. It’s perfect for users who frequently open numerous tabs and want to avoid sudden audio interruptions, providing an effortless way to control your browser's sound settings without manual adjustments.

I find it highly amusing that this addon that hasn't been updated for roughly 6 years works better than any newer addon I've tried to use.

Is AutoMute Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

AutoMute requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

AutoMute has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
