User Reviews
Great extension! The description mentions URL RegEx based black/whitelist. I only see an option to whitelist pages which confuses me on the following: Say the user wants the extension muting content by default on all but a few sites they regularly keep in the background while doing something else (for example, youtube or spotify). Is such blacklist functionality already implemented?

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