Please contact me via email if you encounter a bug, or wish to request a feature.

Mutes tabs that are:

  • Making noise!
  • Not your current, active tab
  • Not part of your "trusted sites" list

What are "trusted sites"? How do I use them?

Trusted sites are websites that you want to make background noise. Ex: listening to a song on YouTube while you browse another tab.

You can add a trusted site by clicking on the extension icon and using the popup interface. Trusted sites are opinionated and must follow the "www.somewhere.com" format.

User reviews

I feel this is a useful, if basic, extension. The process for adding new sites can be slightly confusing at first but once you figure out how to do it then it becomes smooth. I think this will benefit me a lot moving forward!
