It is difficult to selectively mute the content that is making sound in google chrome. I have to locate the tab and then scroll up and down to find the content that is producing sound. It would be great if there exist a feature which will let me right click on the tab and say "Mute".
Is there any way to achieve this without using extensions?
Type this in Google Chrome's omnibox
chrome://flags/#enable-tab-audio-muting
You will see this listing
Enable tab audio muting UI control. Windows, Linux, Chrome OS
When enabled, the audio indicators in the tab strip double as tab audio mute controls. This also adds commands in the tab context menu for quickly muting multiple selected tabs. #enable-tab-audio-muting.
Click Enable link at the bottom of this. Restart Chrome to get this feature.
Note : This feature is supported in Google Chrome builds upwards of version 39

Hi, I made a video capture in network tab on google chrome dev tool.
The problem that tab just too small.
No matter what I do, I can't expand the videos tab (There is no way to expand it with the mouse like other normal tabs).
Any suggestions?
Thanks :)
I'm looking to achieve something similar to Bitly's Chrome Extension. It's not exactly frameless but the style of the title bar is minimal. Also, unlike other types of windows, in Mac OS you can maximize the main browser window and spawn Bitly's window on top.
Neither window.open nor chrome.windows.create offer any options to remove the frame of a launched window. And when these windows are spawned from a fullscreen browser window (maximized) they are also maximized and cannot be used on top of the current browser window.
Chrome.app.window.create does expose the option to remove the frame but this only works for Chrome Apps and not extensions.
Neither of these potential duplicate questions sufficiently answer my question:
How do I customize the title bar of a popup in a chrome extension?
How to build an chrome extension like Google Hangouts (panels are deprecated)
I need to disable Flash for a test case where the user doesn't have Flash installed in Chrome.
Before updating, it worked fine with this option --disable-bundled-ppapi-flash.
But now it doesn't work.
How do I disable Flash?
Do the following on your Google Chrome, to disable Flash, or allow it for specific domains:
Option 1:
Navigate to chrome://settings/content and select the option you want in the Flash section.
Option 2:
Chrome Settings > Click Show advanced options... > Under Privacy click Content Settings... > See the Flash section.
There is an easy way.
Go to the url you want to block flash for
Click on icon "i" in front of the url
Change the flash to "Always block for this site"
I discovered something else that appears to disable Flash: Navigate to
chrome://flags/#prefer-html-over-flash
and set the flag that is highlighted (for "Prefer HTML over Flash") to "Enabled"
I have just done this and tested my computer on Do I Leak- and it reports that Flash is disabled
Sadly they removed interaction with plugins like that in chrome 57.
With web browsers being among the most frequently used pieces of
software out there, it's little wonder that there is so much concern
about security surrounding them. Browser plugins can be a major
security worry, and with Chrome 57 Google has taken the strange
decision to block users from disabling them or changing their
settings.
You can still get at the settings by navigating to: chrome://settings/content
Example:
Alternatively you can get there by visiting:
Chrome Settings > Show advanced options... > Content Settings > Flash
After closing Chrome, certain extensions keep running on the background (like Drive or Hangouts).
Without disabling a extension, can I control which ones can keep running after Chrome is closed?
By default Chrome allows applications/extensions to keep running in the background to provide their services like updates and notifications. This is handy for keeping you updated with notifications on Facebook or a new email in Gmail.
You can stop Chrome from running in the background from the Chrome settings.
Click on Chrome’s main menu and select “Settings.”
Scroll down and click on “Show advanced settings.”
Scroll down to the extreme bottom and uncheck the option “Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed” under the “System” heading.
same with images is here https://www.maketecheasier.com/stop-google-chrome-running-background/
Use the chrome task manager to stop the extensions you want.
To open chrome’s task manager, click the “More” button (three dots), hover over “More Tools,” and then click on “Task Manager.” Alternatively, press Shift+Esc on Windows or Search+Esc on Chrome OS to open Task Manager.
Chrome task manager shows the list of open web pages and chrome extensions that are running.
Select the extensions you want to stop and then press End process
But if you only want to disable them from running in the background after closing Chrome:
Windows:
Ctrl + Shift + Esc
Mac:
Hit Command+Spacebar to bring up the Spotlight search field.
Type in “Activity Monitor”
Hit the Return key when “Activity Monitor” populates in the spotlight results.
You are now in Activity Monitor where you can manage and manipulate tasks.
Select the extensions process and press the End task button (Windows) or select the process and press the x button in the upper left.
You can click the 3 bar on the far right side of the chrome; click settings; click extensions right above that; then disable which ever extensions you do not want running. Often times if you have a ton of add-ons/extensions disabling these can speed up browsing. Happy surfing!
I need to run a web-based app inside Chrome but it must appear as if the app is standalone. I dont want any tools or frames to be visible.
Yes I know I can press F11 but this isnt sufficient as I dont want the tools to appear when I move the mouse to the top of the screen.
Do I need to go to the extents of making a Chrome extension and utilizing a possible fullscreen feature?
From the linux man page:
--app=URL
Runs URL in "app mode": with no browser toolbars.
e.g. invoke it with google-chrome --app=http://example.com
Start Chrome with the --kiosk flag. Then, no borders etc. will be shown. Furthermore, pressing F11 will not exit this mode, so it's the most effective way of running a Kiosk-like app.
chromium --kiosk http://example.com/
Replace chromium with the path of your actual Chrome executable (e.g. chrome.exe).
In the new Chrome (v88) it might be required to add --user-data-dir parameter to remove the title bar, so the line would go like this:
chrome.exe --user-data-dir=c:\temp --kiosk http://google.com
If you open Chrome in app mode, like Trever suggests, then borders will still be visible.
If you want a windowed app with no menus on mac, the steps have changed since #PaulR responded.
The new steps are as follows:
navigate to
chrome://flags
Enable the following two options:
"The new bookmark app system"
"Allow hosted apps to be opened in windows"
Restart Chrome to enable the options.
Then navigate to the page you want to turn into an "app".
In the tools menu (three dots) click More Tools > Add to Applications
Finally, navigate to
chrome://apps
and right click on the icon for the newly added Application. Enable the "Open as window" option.
Go ahead and create the shortcut, then open Chrome Apps chrome://apps. The shortcut icon should be in there. Right click on the app icon and check "Open as window." After that, the shortcut will open as a window.

You can create create shortcuts from Chrome itself....
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95710?hl=en-GB
^ this link no longer works.
The feature is called "Create application shortcuts". To enable it in newer versions of Chrome, go to:
chrome://flags/
... using the address bar. Then find "The new bookmark app system" and Disable it. Then click Relaunch Now at the bottom of the screen.
Now, in the "More tools" menu there will be the "Create application shortcuts" menu entry.
There may be another way to do this, but this is just clarifying the method that was supposed to be described in the link.
Like many others have said, --app=<url> should do it for Chrome Version: 83.0.4103.61. The --kiosk option opens a chrome tab, not a borderless "app" window. I'm on macOS Catalina and decided to brew cast install chromium and ran:
chromium --app=https://netflix.com
Unfortunately I could not stream Netflix from Chromium..
