I like to keep some tabs open in the background, but some play notification sounds. I'd like to be able to mute the tab without having to wait for a notification.

    vrumger Users may be confused by "Mute Tab" option when the tab is not playing any sound.

        Vlad Safari itself does not allow muting tabs when nothing is playing. Although the right click advanced option would still suffice.

          chrome and firefox both always have it as an option

            It should be able to be added as an option when alternate clicking the address bar of a website.

              vrumger Ok so you are looking for Mute Site which is different than Mute Tab. So basically you want to have a website settings per site with the ability for sound on these sites to be muted? If correct, please edit your original post with clarification.

                  Currently, Orion implements tab playback mute in practically the same way as Safari. You have to play media, and only then the volume icon will appear in the tab enabling you to mute the tab. However, Chrome, for example, implements this in what I think is a better way, i.e. they allow you to mute the tab even before the playback starts.

                  Ideally, the "Mute tab/site" option should be available here even if no playback is active:

                      I think this is a feature now no? so can be marked as done

                      I think its a bit confussing tho that there is no icon showing the tab is muted. the icon only appears when sound is playing, but in the use case he is talking about, where it is for notifications. he might not even notice he has it muted

                        Longely Should probably be a separate feature suggestion
