Auto Mute Tab For Safari

Stop background tabs from making noise. This Safari extension automatically mutes any tab the moment you navigate away from it, and seamlessly restores audio when you return. No more unexpected sounds from forgotten tabs, just a quieter, more focused browsing experience.

HOW IT WORKS

When you switch to a new tab or window, every other tab is instantly silenced. Switch back, and the audio picks right back up. It works automatically in the background with zero effort on your part.
