Unfortunately this is simply not the case. It'll change your relationship with certain websites and make for a less frustrating web-browsing experience overall.Wouldn't it be nice if the web was designed for human beings? No seriously, as in for actual people like you and me. I highly advise making use of the new feature. You'll know whether a Chrome update is pending if those three dots in the top right-hand corner of your window are any color besides gray: They can be green, red, or orange, depending on how long it has been since the update was released. If you've closed your Google Chrome browser in the past month or so, this feature should be in your browser already since this was an automatic update. Sometimes the best option was just muting my computer or phone, but then I'd miss out on my Spotify playlist.
Previously, there was the option to mute individual tabs, but that fix was temporary if you closed the tab or browser, the settings would revert to their defaults, and you'd continually need to mute the tab. Before this update, I avoided some sites altogether for this sole reason. But now you won't have to worry that websites will interrupt your music or general browsing experience.
Of course, this means if you do want to hear a video from of your muted sites, you'll have to "Unmute Site," done in the same manner. You can also click on the padlock on the left end of the address bar, scroll down to "Sound," and select "Block." I found that sites would remain muted even when I visited them in an incognito tab, which means only clearing out your cache would undo the site-wide mute. Google Chrome users can now right-click on a tab and select "Mute Site" to make sure that the site never plays sound.
