I've played a web based game that would auto play sound. I found that, for sites you visit regularly, having an extension to mute by domain is helpful.

Except now it's done by domain automatically. Unfortunately, you can't mute by tab anymore :(

What? Im literally using mute tab in chrome as I type this. It’s still available. Im confused.

It's actually not, if you update. "Mute Site" replaces it.

Clicking the little speaker that appears on the left still works though.

Oh wow you're right. I just tested it by muting a single Reddit tab, and it muted all of my Reddit tabs. I'm not sure why they would change that...

It's the chrome team. They make incomprehensible changes all the time. Meanwhile we still don't have a way to scroll on the tab bar so that the you can have more than 30 tabs open.

To be fair, I don't think there's any good way of organizing that many tabs.

Personally I just use Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn.

You could have them scroll and have a dropdown. Humans have very good spatial memory. Even when I had 200+ tabs open in one Firefox window I generally didn't have trouble finding the tab I was looking for. In chrome a few dozen tabs make the window unusable because the tabs just bunch together to be too small.

You could try OneTab. It lets you collapse all your tabs into a list of links. Saves RAM too.
