In Donwloadsource.es we have already told you on more than one occasion about how annoying the audio or sound that some Web pages reproduce can be. This is compounded when we use our computer in public places or spaces shared with other people. For example, in the case that we use the Google Chrome browser and visit a web page that plays any sound or video with audio, it will automatically play, which may disturb users or even yourself.

By default Google Chrome has a tool that will allow you to mute tabs manually and specifically, but of course you can do this once the sound of that tab has already started to play. This occurs because to mute a tab in your Google Chrome browser you will have to right-click the line item followed by clicking on the Mute Tab option, shown in the displayed menu..
However, there are many users who would prefer that by default all the tabs of your Google Chrome web browser be opened already muted. In this way we will not have to worry about accessing a website that reproduces sound without our consent.
Having said that, below we want to show you step by step how to make all Google Chrome tabs open automatically and by default:
How to make your Google Chrome browser mute open tabs.
As we have mentioned, the Google Chrome browser does not offer by default the ability to automatically mute all tabs. That is why we must use a plugin / extension that allows you to carry out this operation..
From TechnoWikis we recommend the use of the free extension: MuteTab . This extension is in the Chrome Web Store and you can download and install in your Google Chrome browser from the following link: Install MuteTab for free
Once the extension is installed in your browser, you will see how a new icon is displayed in the upper right part of the interface, which you will have to click on. This will cause a small window to be displayed in which, in addition to information about the tabs that you currently have open in your Google Chrome browser, you will also find several configuration options from which we must select: Privacy Mode .
When this option is already selected automatically all tabs will be automatically muted. Once the menu is closed, any other new tabs you may open will also be muted..
However, when all the tabs of your browser are muted you should know that you can activate the sound of any of these tabs individually. To do this, you only have to click with the right mouse button for the line, then select the option: Activate Sound from the Tab.
