Summary

This extension allows you to open links, bookmarks and bookmark folders in muted tabs, from the right-click context menu.

It adds a button on the tab bar that turns on/off the "Quiet Mode". When Quiet Mode is ON all new tabs are automatically muted.

This add-on needs the permission to read your bookmarks. If you're worried about that, just read the source code. It will take you less than a minute.

BACKGROUND.JS

let quietMode = false;

function onCreatedItem() { if (browser.runtime.lastError) { console.log(Error: ${browser.runtime.lastError}); }
