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?

KaitoCode, 2024-12-11

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.
