Tab Muter

she's simple, she works, and doesn't require a subscription.

Very Very useful!

It fits its function, it would be nice as an addition to be able to mute with some keyboard shortcut, without having to click on the extension, it would be a plus

You can set a keyboard shortcut in Chrome's settings – navigate to chrome://extensions/shortcuts and scroll down til you find Tab Muter, then you can set a shortcut for "Activate the extension".

Perfect, simply mute tab with one click. Remains muted even if you change the tab or mute another one.

Just here to bump this essential extension.

IF YOU ADD A FUNCTION KEY FORM CHROMES SETTINGS IT BECOMES AWSOME

I really like how it does it's job, but I think an unintended side effect is not being able to mute tabs by right-clicking now. I have to solely use the extension, which I'm not sure if that's intended. I'll use it for now and hope it gets fixed later, but it's definitely not ideal to have to solely use this extension to mute tabs.

Freak'n Awesome! Exactly what I needed. You can (easly) set the short cut in (chrome) extensions manager and use the key board short cut to mute individual full screen windows (this helps if you have multiple vidoe feeds and you want to mute each one separately). BIG Thank you Ash Holland! (P.S. What's another word for donkey? --Marty Bass(see comment below) is just a dumb stupid Donkey Hole who doesn't know what it's talking about.)

Works well. Just wish it wasn't a necessary extension. Wish you could put it inside the tab's right-click menu rather than in the extension menu. (I assume this is part of the API limit that you talked about in your description). Well done on nice work on this extension.

This should not be necessary. It has worked for me so far. But developers should just enable muting using the tab. The one star is for "unnecessary" .

It's a little disheartening to be told that the work I've put into this is "unnecessary" :( Plus, rating the extension poorly suggests to other people that it doesn't work, which by your own admission isn't the case. Perhaps you should instead write a review of Chrome if its developers don't focus on the features you need.
