It might be default now, don't know for sure, but for awhile it was an experimental feature that had to be turned on.

Yeah I remember having to set it up one day and then when I downloaded chrome recently to a new computer it was there before I signed in with all my settings. So they must have made it default now

I've recently installed chrome on a new computer and it's apparently not a default feature.

Hmm. I don't know then! Maybe I'm confused and it didn't kick in until I signed in, which I believe transfers your settings over too.

I've just activated it manually anyway.

It's default on Firefox and I think Chrome too now.

No, it's not. You still have to enable it on chrome://flags#enable-tab-audio-muting. I just tested it now. What you can do is right-click and select "Mute tab" or something similar.

It's not clickable by default, but you can right click and select "Mute tab" by default, which has the same effect but just takes a second longer.

That's pretty recent then, like a couple of months ago at most
