## Description

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.
