(2024-05-20) martin ward: This is a great extension and did what is supposed to do until it stopped working.
(2023-10-16) ѕαмυlι ναlтσиєи: not sure what is happened, but its not work (latest chrome version). You need to go extension settings and turn it off and again then it maybe works.
(2023-10-02) Octavio Rios: For now, seems to be working great! Keeps only one recently audible tab unmuted.
(2023-07-13) Yannick MTZ: Best extension th !!!
(2023-07-05) Tony Tse: Please make a Firefox version!!
(2023-02-22) Abid Hasan: Awesome this is very useful.
(2023-02-21) Baron BarrabanaHorse: finally i can shut up all of these boys
(2022-11-15) devilevil86: Compatible also with Edge Ver. 107.0.1418.42 The best automatic tab muting ever! Compatibile anche con Edge Ver. 107.0.1418.42 La miglior app per silenziare le schede in modo automatico!
(2022-09-17) Giorgos: used to work great. the last few months i have to turn mute on and off several times to get it to work
(2022-09-07) Brian Duffey: Where did silent site sound blocker go? Long time user of that plugin and was much much better than this one which does not seem to work well. Constantly mutes current tab even after I unmute it or even whitelist it. Makes it near impossible to watch youtube videos.
(2022-05-17) Leo Tsang: Was working fine before but now will automatically mute the current tab and requires users to click to a different tab and back to the original tab inorder for sound to play. Makes the extension very annoying to use.
(2022-05-13) Moshfiqul Alam Labib: most productive app of the year
(2022-04-18) Andrew Horvath: This extension worked perfectly until a few months ago. I'm not sure if the issues I'm experiencing are due to an update made to Chrome, or a change made to this plugin. Basically this plugin will oftentimes require me to click from one tab to another to un-mute the tab I'm watching. This mainly happens when opening a new tab. Also the plugin will occasionally randomly mute the tab I'm watching which requires me to click to another tab and back to unmute.
(2022-03-04) Leandro Camargo: Works like a charm.
(2022-01-06) Nithin Vijey: i found it on accident
(2021-10-19) JABE: It isn't working correctly as of lately. I've tried removing it from chrome, restarting my device and disabling/re-enabling it again. Normally it would mute all other tabs when I was on a specific one. But now its muting all tabs by default and I have to keep manually going up and unmuting the tab. Even if the tab is playing media with sound it doesn't unmute the tab I'm on unless I do it myself.
(2021-10-04) 7-C Sarthak Rathi: that's a nice extention
(2021-09-20) Ishaan Sharma: best for the guys who play games during online classes😂
(2021-06-12) HsuX: Have you considered adding shortcut key functions?
(2021-06-09) Banya Rola: Just a note to thank you for this extension... The others stopped working in Chrome 91 and just got promises of a fix but they never got fixed.. I am very happy with this Smartmute 5.4.6 and thank you for developing it... Banyarola
(2021-05-31) Януш Павлов (ianpav): Какво стана с последната версия 5.4.5. Не работи вече . Старата си работеше перфектно. Става дума за браузер едге на майкрософт .
(2021-05-28) Wang Mr.: 目前唯一能用的～可惜這幾天CHROME更新後就怪怪的了～期待新版
(2021-04-09) OLEKSII NIKITIN: Good one. But should be manual control as well by RightMouse on tab.
(2021-03-15) pyoxic2010: Thank you for this smart addon!
(2021-02-09) ekarron: Great idea but the execution is okay. Would be better if it paused the video instead of muting the tab and then replayed the old video when done with the current one. I understand it may be made this way due to limitations but still it's not that convenient.
(2020-12-16) Carlos Brito: Works almost perfectly! When tab's are pinned, the auto mute doesn't work, both pinned tab play sounds at the same time.
(2020-12-16) Barry Peric: Great extension, nice easy management of sound across the browser. Great work!
(2020-12-01) michaela evelyne janice tio: My audio is now gone forever I would give it zero stars, but I have to give atleast one star to write a review. Thanks, Smart mute! :(
(2020-11-21) Parth Tiwari: Exactly what It should be. no more no less. Loved it.
(2020-11-16) Chris Serpa: Does exactly what I wanted! Smart Mute will only play sound through the tab you are looking at. Perfect!
(2020-08-18) Michael Montgomery: works great hate trying to look through to many tabs to turn some thing off in the back ground !!!
(2020-08-04) Robyn Livingstone: It mutes all tabs not just one.
(2020-07-23) Rohit Talwar: really a great feature, does what it says the best but I would like to suggest a feature idk if its possible or not but instead of muting maybe it could pause the video when we switch to a newtab and when coming back resumes it? nevertheless still a great extension.
(2020-04-16) Naveen Dahiya: Amazing Extension. Very useful
(2020-04-16) Glamorocc: Awesome. i found it while browsing extenstions
(2020-04-08) Niko Lehto: Essential for Chrome.
(2020-04-08) Hassan Taha: the best
(2020-03-16) D Schwartz: make it simple to operate like silent sound blocker
(2020-02-19) Dmitry Dmitry: Расширение очень нужно и хорошее! Но! Периодически без причины пропадает звук в принципе во всем браузере, приходится перезапускать само расширение чтобы звук появился, исправьте, плиз, если это возможно. Звук тупо пропадает, расширение выключаю, потом включаю и звук есть
(2019-12-18) Lester Lee: Loved it for CNN!
(2019-11-29) Noritake Satoh: My Facebook tab gets a single notification sound and my YouTube tab mute completely. It will be better to add a mechanism that causes the previous tab to re-open sound if the notification sound only play lasts a few seconds. Can setting that time will be ever better!!
(2019-11-11) Hiwa Jalal: it does what it say perfectly.
(2019-10-22) twig: idk if chrome coding allows it, but will there be a feature in an upcoming update to add the "mute tab" functionality to the right-click menu so one doesn't have to actually open the tab and hear the audio blare out in order to mute it?
(2019-10-21) Jorge Ojeda: Smart Mute es extraordinariamente útil! Antes de instalarla perdía muchísimo tiempo activando y desactivando el sonido de las diferentes pestañas, además ahora puedo evitar sonidos indeseados y evitar momentos incómodos en la oficina o en casa. Considero Smart Mute una extensión indispensable para navegar en internet. I Love it !
(2019-10-21) The Modern Monk: make you smart simple, but awsm keep it up, and bring the awsm ext. like this thanks a lot
(2019-10-21) Rizwan: Good,exceptional extension.
(2019-10-21) Haider Designs: Nice extension.
(2019-10-21) Relbma: Have been using this for a while now....one word..awesome. Never had a problem. This is always installed after Bitwarden as my 'can't use Opera/Chrome without it' apps. Well done!!!
(2019-10-05) Kelly Kane: Solves a long needed problem in Chrome of not being able to leave sound off everywhere and unmute on demand. Gets rid of obnoxious sound from unwanted autoplaying videos (that's 100% of them.)
(2019-08-31) Chris Kleinsasser: Awesome!
