Silent Site Sound Blocker Allows You to Play Sound Only on Whitelisted Tabs
Chrome: We’ve all been there – you open the site in a new tab and it starts playing audio in the background. Or worse, you open it in the foreground and it launches the video in some random corner of the page while you read the article. Silent Site Sound Blocker puts an end to this nonsense forever.
After installing Silent Site Sound Blocker, only whitelisted sites are allowed to play sound. When you visit a site that is trying to autoplay audio or video, you get a popup asking if you want to whitelist the site and play the audio from it permanently, play it only once, then ask the next time you visit, dismiss that one times and ask next visit or completely blacklist the site and never play audio on repeat visit. The latter is ideal for those news sites where it always seems like there is a tiny video somewhere on the page that starts playing as soon as the page loads, or worse, plays anyway even after you pause. to stop him.
The extension is simple, and it’s the love of one developer who sees it as a kind of public beta. You can just as easily configure the tool to work with a blacklist model instead of a whitelisted model – just right-click on the toolbar to switch modes. Best of all, it is open and receptive to feedback and feature requests (he is mentioned version of “quiet time” where the audio is only when – or play at a certain time, I think that would be very useful.)
