Mute New Tabs stops websites from making noise without your permission. It uses Chrome's tab muting API to automatically mute new tabs. On supported sites, it automatically unmutes the tab when you interact with an in-page volume control. If needed, you can un-mute a tab by using the context menu on the tab itself.
Note: to restore the "Unmute tab" and "Mute tab" context menu actions, disable "Sound content setting" in chrome://flags.
This extension also
1) mutes tabs on startup, because Chrome doesn't remember which tabs were muted.
2) mutes the tab when you navigate to a different origin.
All behaviors can be toggled in the extension's popup window.
This extension does not include any kind of analytics or tracking.

Why it uses these permissions:
"Read and change your data on a number of websites" - inject content script that sends "unmute" message to extension when you click an in-page volume control
"Communicate with cooperating websites" - receive "unmute" message from injected script
"Read your browsing history" - determine if a tab moved to a different domain (origin)

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
