Sound Control

This is Sound Control, a WebExtension to manage browser tabs that play audio.

It adds a button to the browser toolbar that opens a window with a few features:

  • View all tabs that are currently audible
  • Jump to any of those tabs
  • Mute a single tab
  • Jump back and forth between what you're working on and what you're listening to
  • Mute all tabs
  • Automatically mute any audible tabs on startup (coming soon)

Keyboard shortcuts:

  • Control (Command on Mac) + Shift + K: Kick open the Sound Control panel
  • Arrow Down: Select the next website in the list
  • Arrow Up: Select the previous website
  • Enter: Go to the tab of the selected website
  • m: Mute / Unmute the selected website
  • M: Mute / Unmute all websites

Here are some screenshots (which I'm sure are outdated by now):
