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
I was looking for an extension that explicitly pauses all videos, not just mutes tabs. This extension does just that, so thank you. You should probably change the name though :)
