Mute Site is a handy Chrome extension designed to simplify audio control in your browser. When a tab starts playing audio, a mute button appears, allowing you to instantly mute or unmute all tabs from that particular website domain with a single click. This seamless functionality eliminates the need to mute each tab individually, enhancing your browsing experience.

With its intuitive interface, Mute Site empowers users to manage sound across multiple tabs efficiently, perfect for multitasking or silencing distractions. The extension is open source, and you can explore or contribute to its Source Code on Github.

User Reviews

Users find the Mute Site add-on conceptually useful for controlling site audio. However, multiple reviews highlight a consistent issue where the add-on fails to remember muted sites after restarting Firefox, reducing its effectiveness. Additionally, some users suggest improving the UI by placing the icon in the extension toolbar instead of the URL bar to enhance accessibility.

Pros

Simple and straightforward to use for muting sites.
Good concept for managing audio per site.
Users appreciate the idea of site-specific audio control.

Cons

Does not remember muted sites after restarting the browser.
Fails to retain muted domains/settings per website upon browser restart.
Icon placement is not ideal; users prefer it in the extension toolbar rather than the URL bar.

Recent reviews

Doesn't remember the sites you muted whenever you close/reopen the browser, making it kind of pointless.

Is Mute Site 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 Site requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.

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.
