this extension does wonder to current update that blast the preview at 100 and still blasting even after muting it

These Youtube clowns decided to add a stupid feature but I'm grateful we have people who makes extension like this one to suppress their forced feature without any button to disable it. I feel like youtube downgrades rather than upgrades but they are multibillion dollar owned by google now and your feeling doesn't matter to them. But hey, let's hurt your feelings more by destroying your ears on hover. HELLO ANYBODY HOME! This extension is great. Put it all the way to zero and it's just like you had time travel and stop the time before a Clownkaren from youtube offices presents their ear breaking project for youtube innovation.

Very helpful, but fix shorts volume blocking. It blocks even opened shorts

It works but it mutes the youtube shorts as well if you click on them not only if you hover with the mouse.

modern problems require modern solutions

It also works on shorts but its a good addon for disabling sound for previews.

Dunno what stupid update YT had but ridiculous we need to fix it. - this did fix it - however it breaks audio on shorts

good to have even some control over youtube chaos but it still needs little bit of work cous when you open shorts the sound is controled only by this extenstion and little bit more is when you hold silder and move it volume does not apply you have to release slider to chek if it is the right sound level you needed overaly its better then youtube offered control that means none good work and thanks for help

This is a godsend for muting audio on previews. However, right now it also affects shorts, and that is unwanted behaviour.

it also mute youtube shorts. could u fix it?

Perfekt, so hat man weiterhin die Vorschau aber ohne Ton, was auch immer die Keks geraucht haben das das Video Standard jetzt immer ton abspielt ist mir ein Rätzel. Mit dieser Erweiterung ist das Problem jedenfalls gelöst.

Great app but it mutes youtube shorts - I'll update to 5* when this gets a fix! thanks for making it

Fix the shorts going mute and like the other Mason said, 5 stars!

Works great, just please fix the Youtube shorts going mute and it's a 5 from me!

Thanks It works as of 2026.03.07

Thanks for fixing youtube. Apparently youtube is too small of a company to couldn't figure out how to enable users control over their new "features".

Nearly perfect. This extension allows you to set the volume to 0 and have almost the same experience as before the update. However there are two things, if you click a YouTube Short form video, this app takes control of the volume. This requires you to adjust the volume through this extension to be able to hear the video even in the full sized Short player window. The other issue is that videos with sounds at the very start of the video can still be heard. It seem that this extension quickly lowers the volume each time you mouse over a video, and some videos make a loud beep or chirp as the volume is quickly adjusted to whatever you set it to, in my case 0. If these two issues are fixed, I'd rate it 5/5 stars.

Outstanding

The best extension ever, saved my day, i hate the sound on preview, i just set 0 volume You are the best

It worked

Very simple, effective, and safe.
