User reviews
Pros
- Effectively mutes audio from sites, similar to Chrome's muting features.
- Allows muting by domain, enhancing user control over audio sources.
- Includes whitelist and blacklist modes for flexible muting options.
- Provides an optional right-click context menu for easy access.
- Works across different Firefox-based browsers, including Waterfox.
Cons
- Settings such as blacklist/whitelist entries and mute preferences often fail to save, especially on Firefox for Android.
- No built-in method to delete or edit blacklist entries in some versions, particularly in Waterfox.
- Does not block autoplay videos with audio in all cases, such as videos continuing to play sound.
- Lack of direct contact or support channels like GitHub or email makes reporting issues difficult.
- Some UI aspects could be improved, like defaulting context menu to domain-only muting.
