When will chrome automute pages install#

2 If you use Firefox you can install the fantastic (and aptly named) Mute sites by default extension. If I understand correctly, this means that at some point Google will enable this feature by default in 1% of Chrome installations (in the stable version), so if you are part of those users and want the 'Mute' button to remain in the tabstrip, make sure you use that button a lot so that those metrics reach Google. You can see how short your attention span is when it comes to autoplay videos by going to chrome://media-engagement/ in your address bar. To install AutoMute simply visit this page and then click the Add to Chrome button and follow the prompts. Our plan is to run an experiment to compare the usage of tab muting with the usage of the global media control to help determine whether users would actually use this feature and if so, if we should put the control in the tab strip or in the global media control.Īfter multiple rounds of discussion we finally got approval from to run an experiment for tab muting at 1% of Stable! Important!: The fact that this feature is already working in Canary doesn't guarantee that it will finally reach the stable version, in fact, according to the owner of the commit, Google will run an experiment to compare the use of the 'Tab muting' feature (in the tabstrip) with the use of the Global media controls mute button, and after that experiment they'll decide if the appropriate place for the 'Mute' button is in the Global media controls or in the tabstrip, these are some of the comments in the commit:
