Re-enables the "Mute Tab" feature once found in Chrome itself.

Once upon a time, Chrome had a feature hidden away in chrome://flags to allow users to mute individual tabs by clicking the speaker icon next to the tab's title. This was deemed "not good enough", as the Chrome developers wanted to remove the need for users to manually control tab audio, so it was removed in favour of the "Mute Site" feature.

Chrome cannot yet automatically determine which tabs should be playing audio, so I made this extension to let the user make that decision. The button's in a different place due to Chrome API limitations, but apart from that, this extension should work exactly as the old "Mute Tab" feature did.

first name last name 2022-04-18 As Apr 22, the keyboard shortcut ctrl+m has stopped working. Any chance of enabling another one? A must have extension to use with Chrome since its update. I use it the other way round, I have all tabs and sites muted by Chrome and use the extension to unmute tabs.
Mr. S 2022-04-14 Really good add-on but lately has started suffering from an issue where it gets stuck on either sound on or muted and you have to restart the plug-in to make it work again. Happens at least once a day.
K. W 2022-04-13 All was great until today 4/13/22. I could mute one tab at a time so I could decided which tabs I wanted to hear. Today it now has either full site is muted or not muted. I will have multiple of same site open. I.E. twitch. I do not always want to hear all the streamers I am listening to at once. The icon is shown either as slashed threw or not but that has no baring on if the tab is muted or not. i used to be able to click the icon. I am not sure if it is an update glitch and will eventually be fixed or is it just no longer useful for what I want to use it for anymore. I loved this feature until it stopped working properly.
