Background tabs noisy? Inactive Safari tabs get silenced automatically and audio restores when you return. Stop background tabs from making noise. This Safari extension automatically mutes any tab the moment you navigate away from it, and seamlessly restores audio when you return. No more unexpected sounds from forgotten tabs, just a quieter, more focused browsing experience. HOW IT WORKS When you switch to a new tab or window, every other tab is instantly silenced. Switch back, and the audio picks right back up. It works automatically in the background with zero effort on your part. KEY FEATURES - Automatic muting: Background tabs are silenced the moment you leave them. - Instant unmuting: Audio restores seamlessly when you switch back to a tab. - Picture-in-Picture aware (Mac): Tabs using PiP video stay unmuted so you can keep watching. - Keyboard shortcut (Mac): Quickly toggle muting with a customizable shortcut. - Whitelist support: Exclude specific websites that should always play audio. - Cross-window support (Mac): Muting works across all your Safari windows. - Deep media support: Handles HTML5 video, audio elements, and Web Audio API content. - Lightweight: Minimal resource usage with no impact on browsing speed. SETTINGS & CUSTOMIZATION Fine-tune your experience from the extension settings: - Enable or disable Picture-in-Picture exemption (Mac) - Add websites to a whitelist so they always play audio - Configure cross-window muting behavior (Mac) - Set your preferred keyboard shortcut (Mac) PRIVACY FIRST Your data stays on your device. No analytics, no tracking, no network requests, the extension runs entirely locally. Your browsing stays private. Available in 33 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and 18 more. Perfect for anyone who browses with multiple tabs and wants a distraction-free experience.

whitelist doesn’t work on ipad

Avarice!
this is the one thing i wanted, so it feels like a waste

Developer Response
Thanks for taking the time to share this, and we hear you, the whitelist was the feature you wanted.On iPhone and iPad this runs into a Safari limitation we can't override: iOS only lets one tab play audio at a time. The moment you start sound in another tab, Safari itself pauses the first one, whitelisted or not. That's enforced by Safari for every extension, so there's no way for us to keep a background tab playing on iOS.Auto Mute still keeps your whitelisted sites from being muted, and on Mac the whitelist works fully, where several tabs can play at once. We're adding a note inside the app so this iOS limit is clear instead of looking like a bug.You can contact us via email if you have any further suggestions or questions on corvusdevs@outlook.com.Thanks, CorvusDevs.
