Google Chrome is the most used web browser on any platform, thanks to its smooth experience and unlimited web app store. Few weeks back, we have covered an article on how to mute individual tabs in Google Chrome so that you can peacefully browse the web pages without having to worry about the annoying flash ads and videos. If you have missed that tutorial, please follow it from the below link.

However, it still takes a bit of effort to navigate to that page and mute the videos in the page or just hit the mute button on the tab. After a bit of research, we have found another alternative to get rid of these annoying adverts. With Mute Inactive Tabs add-on for Chrome, you can auto-mute the tabs you’re not currently using. So, if you’re watching your favorite YouTube videos, the rest of the tabs will be dead silent. However, this will block almost all flash content in the inactive tabs which might disrupt your normal browsing experience.

So, try this out and check for yourself if your browsing experience has increased or not. Follow the below instructions to set-up auto-mute tabs on Chrome.
