Few things are worse than when you're trying to get some work done with your headphones on and all of a sudden, a loud, obnoxious advertisement yells at you to "come try this out!"
It's terrible, but Google seems to empathize with this. Back in November, the search giant launched an update to its Chrome beta browser that included a helpful little feature that silences these noisy tabs. This helpful feature is now available in the latest stable release of Google Chrome.
Just look for the little sound icon in your tabs.
The feature allows you to track down noisy tabs with visuals: scan your tabs and look for the speaker icon to see which one is the disruptor. You'll also be able to tell which tabs are using your webcam or are being cast to your TV via Chromecast.
