Mute Tab

Easily mute all tabs with just one click!

Mute Tab - Control Sound Across Multiple Tabs in One Click

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.

Extension summary

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).

한번 클릭하면 그 탭의 상태가 mute-sound 이렇게 순환하는게 직관적이지만 이건 이상함. 한번 클릭해서 active tab만 mute는 가능한데, 그 상태에서 다른 탭을 누르면 전체 mute상태가 해지됨. 암튼 직관적이지않고 짜증나는 ui
