AutoMute for Chrome is a lightweight browser extension designed to give you complete peace and quiet by automatically silencing every new tab the moment it opens. Instead of forcing you to scramble to turn off sudden, loud background music or pop-up video ads, AutoMute changes your browsing experience to an “opt-in” model for sound. Key Features
Immediate Silencing: Every single web page you open is instantly muted upon launch.
Domain Whitelisting: You can whitelist entire domains (like youtube.com) so they always play audio normally.
Page-Specific Whitelisting: You can allow sound on a single specific page without trusting the rest of the website.
Blacklist Mode: Alternatively, you can let all sites play audio by default and only block specific, problematic URLs. How to Use It
Download the extension from the official AutoMute Chrome Web Store Page.
Locate the icon to the right of your URL address bar after installation.
Click the icon to quickly toggle the mute status of your current tab or manage your whitelist rules. Important Distinction
Unlike native browser settings, AutoMute uses its own interface overlay. This means you do not right-click the browser tab to unmute; you simply click the extension icon in your toolbar to let a page play audio.
