Smart Mute

As a developer I had to read a lot of StackOverflow articles and watch a lot of youtube videos simultaneously, though after opening all the tabs the audio of all tabs start playing and made me in trouble at night and even frustrated me in the evening, Here Smart Mute comes in place, Smart Mute help me take control over audio-only in the tab I am active in and mute all other tabs. And on the other hand, you can also blacklist certain websites that have the functionality of auto-play in it. One more interesting feature is if you switch to a tab that does not have any audio content in it, the last tab playing the audio gets unmuted
