What is Mute Tabs?
Mute Tabs for Microsoft Edge is a highly effective browser add-on that seamlessly mutes and unmutes sounds as you switch between tabs. Designed with convenience in mind, the extension eliminates sudden audio interruptions and noisy disturbances from unwanted ads or videos, by ensuring that sound only plays from the currently active tab. The add-on also offers a Silent Mode, effectively muting all tabs for an even quieter online experience. It is not a Microsoft product, but a stand-alone extension by an independent development team.
