Mute Tab

By: Balvin
Full control of noisy tabs with keyboard shortcut support

Features & Capabilities

Mute Tab is a powerful browser extension designed to give you full control over noisy tabs. With features like muting individual or multiple tabs, muting all except the active tab, and support for incognito tabs, it ensures a distraction-free browsing experience. You can toggle mute states via toolbar popup or custom keyboard shortcuts. Its lightweight, nonpersistent background scripts mean no unnecessary resource consumption.

Additional functionalities include monitoring newly opened tabs, dark mode support, and a Focus Mode to mute all except your current tab. Ideal for meetings or online conferences, Mute Tab keeps unwanted sounds, especially from ads and banners, silently running without interruption. Open-source and actively maintained, this extension provides seamless sound management tailored to your browsing needs.

Is Mute 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 Tab does not require any sensitive permissions.
