Google Chrome just fixed the worst thing about the internet
The latest Google Chrome update, announced Wednesday, includes an update that allows users to mute super annoying autoplay audio on websites -- forever.
Previously, a chrome user could right click on a website's tab to reveal a menu that included "Mute Tab." With the update, right clicking on the tab now reveals "Mute Site."
This small update, however, will make a big difference. Many websites autoplay videos and blast us all with undesired sound. Now, any site (as opposed to a specific page within a site) can be permanently shut up.
The screenshot below shows you how to find the option:
In order to see this option, you must have the latest Chrome version, which can be updated by clicking on "Chrome" when the browser is launched, selecting "About Google Chrome," and then clicking the blue "launch" button displayed next to you current version. If the "launch" button isn't available, that means you're already updated. The power is yours.
