User reviews

Mutes tabs which is great, but then keeps muting them. I am looking for something that will mute tabs by default , but then let me unmute one or more tabs by clicking the speaker on the tab. Once a tab is muted, it should be up to me to decide to unmute it.

Is it possible when I stop youtube for examle to unmute the last recent muted tab?

единственное нормальное расширение которое работает как надо, искал расширение которое автоматически продолжает воспроизведение предыдущей вкладки после того как нажимаешь паузу на нынешнюю, например в сценарии Когда слушаешь на бэкграунде музыку и хочешь посмотреть какое-нибудь видео для работы, и чтобы не переключался между вкладками нажимая паузу и стоп. Ну как на телефоне.
