Mute Tab

Easily mute all tabs with just one click!

What is Mute Tab?

Mute Tab is a godsend for those who need control over sound across their browser tabs. It lets users mute all tabs with one click, changing icon color and shape for easy indication. Individual tab sound control is a breeze, thanks to the right-click menu, while options for muting all but the active tab are provided. Note that manually unmuted tabs stay as they are, regardless of tool usage.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Mute Tab is an extension that helps you quickly mute all tabs with just one button (click).

The toolbar button serves as an ON|OFF switch, once pressed, the icon will change accordingly (the color and shape). Please note that if you want to unmute just one tab, simply right-click on a tab and then click on the "Unmute Tab" item. To mute all tabs except the active tab, please visit the options page. If you manually unmute a tab, the addon will NOT change it, even if you click on the toolbar icon.

Note: to report bugs, please fill the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/mute-tab.html).

Works for the most part, but there's a bug when you use option 3 (mute all tabs except the active tab). When you use this option and lose focus of the tab for 5 seconds it will mute. Also option 3 doesn't seem to be muting tabs on other windows.

Seems to have canceled out my previous selections for sites I want muted, which is irksome. But it's nice to wholly mute Chrome when I want to.

Can you please add a feature to initiate Silent Mode automatically when the host MacOS's Do Not Disturb mode is turned on? A simple Option+Click on the MacOS taskbar date turns on MacOS Do Not Disturb, and it would be awesome if that one click made everything (including Chrome, using an extension like yours) go silent (except perhaps the active tab as per your extension settings).
