## Description

**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](https://github.com/pkrasicki/firefox-mute-site).

## Review summary

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.
