Features & Capabilities

Mute Current Tab is a lightweight Chrome extension that adds a convenient toolbar button to quickly toggle mute and unmute for the active browser tab. The button icon dynamically updates to indicate whether the tab is muted or unmuted, providing clear visual feedback. Users can also use a customizable keyboard shortcut (default ALT+C) to switch the sound on or off without leaving their keyboard.

Designed for simplicity and privacy, this extension only controls the muted status of the current tab and does not modify or access any other data. It is an excellent tool for users who want instant, one-click sound control without disrupting their browsing experience.

Is Mute current tab Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Mute current tab does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Mute current tab has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
