SILENCE NOISY WEBSITES IN CHROME

Google is testing a Chrome tool that lets you permanently turn off a website’s sound. It’s a response to the growing number of sites that play loud videos – often adverts – when you visit them. The tool has been added to Chrome Canary ( www.snipca.com/25466), which is an ‘experimental’ version of the browser aimed at developers and advanced users. If it is popular, Google may add it to the full version of Chrome.
