Works fine, unless you needed it to do the thing it says it does: work on *all windows*. Within the same window it works fine, but the instant you drag a tab to a new window, it doesn't work anymore, and both tabs will play with audio. Disappointing.

Is was what I was looking for but it only worked half the time. all the other extensions that I've found only muted the inactive tab if the active tab made sound. This extension looked like it muted the inactive tab regardless if the active tab had audio but it only worked half the time. Shame.
