Silent Mode: Mute Background Tabs in Your Browser

Tech Tip Tuesday: Is an auto-playing video in a background tab disrupting your focus? Most modern browsers allow you to mute individual tabs without affecting the audio from others. Here’s how to silence the noise:

  • In Chrome: Right-click the noisy tab and select ‘Mute site.’ This will mute all tabs from the same website.
  • In Firefox: Click the small speaker icon on the tab itself to toggle the sound off or on.
  • In Safari: Right-click the tab and choose ‘Mute Tab.’ Like Chrome, this will mute all tabs from the same site.

Keep your browsing peaceful and your focus intact with this quick tab-muting trick! 🔇📑🌐
