Mute Everything

Mutes everything by pausing all audio and video.

What is Mute Everything?

"Mute Everything" is a Chrome extension that instantly pauses any video or audio playing in your browser. Instead of manually finding and pausing a media source, this extension simplifies the process by combining it all into a single button action. It supports common music services such as GrooveShark, Pandora, SoundCloud, and more. It's also compatible with YouTube and HTML5 media. Notably, plug-in objects can't be paused but can be temporarily removed and easily restored with a click.

Recent reviews

For the love of god, if this is called 'Mute Everything', then why doesn't it mute everything? Why do I each time have to click the button first? After I got startled by yet another loud sound? There is no 'Auto' option, in fact the whole 'Options' area is grey. Is this some kind of Beta version or what? Please, make a better version with Options, such as Stay Mute PERMANENTLY. And concentrate on muting the sound itself, not stopping the various site sources. That will never cover it. There are always new king of sources developing. Please people, someone just finally make something to PERMANENTLY MUTE the whole Chrome browser.
