If you regularly use Chrome, you are in luck, although seeing the evolution that browsers follow, where every time someone launches a new function, it quickly appears in the rest of the browsers, you may not have to wait that long if you don't use it. Many are the web pages that in their eagerness to promote the views of their videos, have the obnoxious mania of playing them automatically without the user having to interact at any time with them, giving us a significant scare if the volume of our computer is too high, in addition to forcing us in most cases to pause the video, because it is not related to the news we want to read .
The guys at Mountain View are working on implementing a new function that allows us to block the sound of certain web pages forever, so that they do not play sound again until we manually allow it. Currently Google and most browsers allow us to remove the sound from the tabs that play content, ideal for sporadic cases but not continuously when we visit websites full of videos, advertisements and others. To adjust certain values and permissions of a web page in Chrome, just we have to click on the button located just before the URL.
In this menu we can check the permissions that a web page has, such as access to the microphone, to the location ... When Google implements this new function, the function mute that web page will also be available, so that from now on all the web pages that we open and that are part of that domain have access to the speakers disabled by default, unless we manually allow access. While we wait for this feature to arrive in its final function, you can currently test it with Chrome Canary.
