Chrome marks tabs with a small speaker icon when they are playing audio. Finding the right one across 20 open tabs is still slow. The audible-tabs list skips that step.

Open the SuperchargeAudio popup and you see every tab currently making sound, listed by title. Two actions are available from the list: jump to the tab, or mute it.

## What the List Shows

The audible-tabs list is a real-time view of your open tabs that are actively producing audio. It updates as tabs start and stop playing.

| What you see | What you can do |
|-------------|-----------------|
| Tab title and site | Jump to that tab immediately |
| Audio-active indicator | Mute the tab without leaving your current tab |

Externally muted tabs do not appear when you first open the popup. If you mute a tab from inside the list, it stays visible so you can unmute it in the same session.

## Jumping to a Tab

Clicking a tab title in the list switches focus to that tab. This is faster than scanning your tab bar, particularly when the playing tab is in a different window or buried far to the right.

## Muting From the List

You can mute any listed tab with a single click. The tab is muted immediately and removed from the audible-tabs list. You stay on your current tab throughout.

This is a manual action. The tab stays muted until you unmute it or the page reloads, depending on how the site handles audio state.

## How This Differs From Smart Mute

[Smart Mute](/features/smart-mute/) operates automatically: background tabs are muted as you navigate, so only your active tab ever plays. The audible-tabs list is manual. It gives you a view of what is playing and lets you act on specific tabs.

The two features address different situations. Smart Mute is for continuous tab-switching workflows where background audio should never compete. The audible-tabs list is for targeted control — you heard something, you want to find it and decide what to do.

## When to Use the Audible-Tabs List

- Something is playing and you cannot identify which tab
- You want to mute one specific tab without affecting the others
- You have [Smart Mute](/features/smart-mute/) off and prefer to manage audio manually
- You need to jump to a tab that started playing in the background

## Privacy

The audible-tabs list is generated locally from your open browser tabs. No tab titles, URLs, or audio data are stored or transmitted. SuperchargeAudio has no telemetry and requires no account.
