DHAKA: Is it often needed to mute YouTube or did you ever think to mute any other background music while browsing despite of computer sound?

Chrome has added a developer feature that will let you mute tabs natively.

This means you don't need a third-party extension to get this feature, reports cnet.com on Tuesday.

However, the mute button feature is only available in Chrome Dev or Chrome Canary builds.

If you don't have the correct version, you can download it from the bellow address.

Now, that you're using the necessary browser, follow these steps to enable a mute button on each tab that is making noise:

Step 1: Enter chrome://flags/#enable-tab-audio-muting into the omnibox.

Step 2: The setting you need to enable will be highlighted. Click Enable under Enable tab audio muting UI control.

Step 3: Restart your Chrome browser.
