About Visual Tab Mute
A simple and intuitive extension that lets you see at a glance which tabs are muted!
Have you ever opened multiple tabs for YouTube or social media and found yourself struggling to find which tab you just muted? With this extension, the moment a tab is muted, a visual icon (π) is automatically added to the beginning of the tab's title!
[Key Features]
1. Visualize Mute Status: Adds a "π" icon to the beginning of the title of muted tabs.
2. Visualize Playing Audio: Adds a "π΅" icon to tabs actively playing sound so you never lose track of noisy tabs.
3. Fully Customizable: Freely change the displayed icons (emojis or text) to your liking via the Options page. Convenient presets are also included.
4. Exclude Specific Sites: Add domains or URLs to a blacklist where you don't want the extension to run.
5. Native Browser Integration: Seamlessly monitors and works with your browser's powerful native mute functions (like right-clicking a tab in Vivaldi), ensuring a highly lightweight experience.
