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.

User reviews

I am just looking for something that will mute all tabs by default, but let me unmute it. This extension keeps remuting the tab when I switch to a different tab. Not what I want.

Works well with Google Chrome. All other browsers support the CTRL + M shortcut to mute a tab which I have assigned as a Macro key to one of my mouse buttons. Unfortunately, Chrome took away such a basic function, to assign keyboard shortcuts. What I did was I installed this extension, then went to the Extensions menu in Chrome, then Keyboard Shortcuts, and I assigned this extension the CTRL + M Shortcut and in the settings of the extension I set it to mute the active tab. Works like a charm.
