| 2022-04-13 |  | | Adding to the chorus: this extension used to work perfectly but something broke a couple months ago. Now, even if youtube with wildcards is on my whitelist, youtube videos opened in new tabs will be muted. I noticed that if I go into the extension options with muted tabs already open and hit 'Save', the webpages that are on the whitelist will unmute themselves. So clearly the whitelist still works, but something is now preventing the extension from automatically applying the rule to new tabs. I hope the developers can take a look and debug the issue. | |

| 2022-03-16 |  | | Since the latest Chrome update (99) there is a weird bug where a new tab starts muted even though it's on the whitelist. Other than that a really great and simple extension. | |
