Shut Up Already! is a free Chrome extension developed by Michał Matyas. This handy tool mutes all Chrome tabs by default, making it a great solution for dealing with autoplayed videos and ads.

With Shut Up Already!, you can enjoy a peaceful browsing experience without having to worry about intrusive autoplay videos or unwanted ads. The extension mutes all tabs automatically, allowing you to selectively unmute specific tabs when needed.

One of the main reasons behind the creation of this extension was to address the frustration caused by news sites that autoplay videos in the background. By muting all tabs by default, Shut Up Already! helps users regain control over their browsing experience.

It is worth noting that this extension prioritizes user privacy. It does not collect any analytics or tracking data, ensuring that your browsing information remains private. The developer has also committed to maintaining this privacy-focused approach in future updates.

Recent updates have brought significant improvements to Shut Up Already! Versionincludes an update to privacy practices, while version 2.0 removes the popup and introduces an options page and context menu. Additionally, clicking on the mute icon now toggles the mute status.
