Goodbye mutetab

Read Original

The author discusses their past reliance on the mutetab Firefox extension, which muted new tabs by default to prevent websites from auto-playing audio. They note that Firefox's built-in feature for blocking auto-playing media has now become reliable enough to replace the need for the extension, while critiquing the poor user experience of websites that implement such auto-play behavior.
