Google Chrome is a cross-platform web browser developed by Google. It was first released in 2008 for Microsoft Windows built with free software components from Apple WebKit and Mozilla Firefox.
While following an article or watching videos, and suddenly the speakers blare. Pop-ups appear on the screen, which irritates me to watch the flow. Autoplay video follows you as you scroll down the page. We have to close these pop-ups that actually you see the content you want.
Mostly, the popular web browsers have settings that will help you silence the unnecessary noise. And if we did not do the trick, we are got into third-party add-ons to take control. Here’s how to do that silent, peaceful, and quiet in Google Chrome.
Chrome Browser
Google comes with the ability to turn off the music. When a page starts playing sound, a little speaker icon will appear on that page layout, next to the “X” on the right. After seeing that icon, right-click on the tab and choose Mute Site. This will immediately close that page and turn the noisy icon into a silent with a line through it.
Also use the option as a pre-emptive strike, muting a page before it begins making noise. Once you do, an of the pages that share the same domain will launch with the mute option turned on. To unmute, right-click a muted tab and choose Unmute Site.
Videos Auto – Play
Get rid of noisy pop-ups you will need to prevent videos from auto-playing. For several years Chrome has automatically disabled autoplay until and unless the video is mute or the user has expressed a specific interest in watching it.
Some autoplay videos might still get onto your screen. To block them, you will have to set Chrome’s settings. Unfortunately, there’s no specific setting for autoplay, but there is one that will stop all sites from playing sound.
Tap on the three dots in the upper right corner of the browser window, then Settings, Privacy and security, Site Settings, and scroll to the bottom to find Additional content settings. Tap that to expand the list and click on Sound. Finally, select the next to Don’t allow sites to play sound. With this enabled, videos can still play, and but they will be silent, and if you want to hear sound on, say, YouTube, you’ll have to right-click the tab and select Unmute Site.
Website Notifications
Whenever the website sends the notification to Chrome and it shows the display it on screen. This will make the apps like Gmail, which run on the web, get in touch with you. While this is a good idea in reading, in practice it will all sites bother you with interruptions and alerts. However, they will ask for your approval first.
Alternatively, the sites request to send you notifications, you can deny them individually. Or you can automatically deny all of them and opt-out of these requests entirely: Go to Chrome’s settings, find Privacy and security, open Site Settings, and click on Notifications. Then use the bubbles at the top of the page to generally set how sites can send notifications, and the options lower down to further customize how alerts work.
Frequent Pop-ups
Frequent pop-up windows are irritatable. To avoid them, start by opening Chrome’s settings. Click Privacy and security, then Site Settings, followed by Pop-ups and redirects. Finally, click the bubble next to Don’t allow sites to send pop-ups or use redirects.
The third-party app will help to reduce this distraction. Two of the apps best for popping up are Pop Up Blocker for Chrome and ublocker. Both function similarly: they will let you browse sites without interruption and send you notifications when they squish pop-ups.
