Why did Chrome remove the "mute tab" feature?

It was replaced with "mute site". I have preferred muting a website instead of a tab exactly zero times.

Interesting. I guess it's meant to save it from one log in to the next

But now I can't mute one out of multiple tabs from the same website.

Also, you can't mute a tab that you're using to go to multiple sites (to prevent it from producing unwanted audio by auto-playing videos).

I think that mute site was there for a while already.

The longer it gets, the more we suffer.

It's very annoying.

Other browsers do still have "mute tab".

I like Firefox because it has an official extension that gives you containers.
