Went from great to buggy. Now seems to randomly mute tabs as I am listening. No idea why. Thought my earbuds were going bad at first. Thought maybe it was switching away and back to a tab, but that is not it. Hoping for an update - will update review if fixed, but for now, just going to turn it off.
New update ruined it. Now it just mutes randomly. I'd give it zero stars if I could. Removed.
Unable to unmute tabs. Terrible.
Stopped working recently, can no longer mute/unmute from the button on the tab
Chrome changed from "mute tab" to "mute site" and broke this extension. It's been a while with no fix. The developer is done supporting this I guess.
This is exactly what I wanted BUT it shows the "muted speaker" icon on every tab which is very annoying. It's particularly annoying on pinned tabs because I can no longer see the icon for the website! Please give us the option to not show that icon.
I have to turn off the extension to unmute a tab. What happened to the option where I could right cick on a tab to unmute? You guys think I have the time to add sites to the whitelist? I prefer unmuting tabs manually like the previous version.
Mutes everything except ads tabs which it didn't. Sad and useless...
Maybe my definition of domain is different from theirs. I'm not sure this extension is worth having anymore.
Adding to the chorus: this extension used to work perfectly but something broke a couple months ago. Now, even if youtube with wildcards is on my whitelist, youtube videos opened in new tabs will be muted. I noticed that if I go into the extension options with muted tabs already open and hit 'Save', the webpages that are on the whitelist will unmute themselves. So clearly the whitelist still works, but something is now preventing the extension from automatically applying the rule to new tabs. I hope the developers can take a look and debug the issue.
Used to work fine but currently randomly mutes whitelisted sites.
Not as great as I would like it to be. I'd like this better if it's updated. First, it seems to unmute automatically when I bring a tab to the front. There should be an option to ONLY automute, not auto-unmute (I mean the extension name is AutoMute, not AutoMute&Unmuter). Second, there needs to be option to be able to use both black and whitelists. If I use the blacklist for a set of annoying sites, it doesn't mute for every other site. If I use the whitelists, it blocks every other site and I have to manually whitelist sites as I go.
Not sure why but as of today it started muting every new tab, even whitelisted pages.
since the newest chrome update (64), you can't unmute a tab by right clicking on it anymore since chrome has now their own option for muting a website. hope it gets fixed soon, you still can unmute a tab by clicking the auto mute symbol to the right though.
It`s a good extension does what it promises but I have a problem with Twitch.tv, if the extension is activated (doesn`t matter if I whitelist twitch.tv or not) the chat is just not working (the only thing poping up are subscriptions). This is really annoying and sadly I can`t use ther extension because of it.
White or Black list mode DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I have to unmute my favorite tab manually every single time. BTW good extension for Chrome. I was confuse for the text in the option a little bit: "Specify a list of whitelisted URLs that will not be muted automatically." and then you see "Specify a list of blacklisted URLs that will not be muted automatically." I think that is why my black or white list was never work...
I LOVED this extension, right up until today, when it stopped working. I deleted it, then reinstalled, and still...<sigh> Was good while it lasted.
