Do you often feel disturbed by the emergence of a voice with a video or a sudden ad when accessing a particular site? If it so, hopefully this interesting information can be good news for you.

Well, finally Google is testing new options that allow users to mute websites permanently inside the Chrome browser. This will create a website that loads video automatically with sounds coming to an end. Yay!

Actually this feature has been added by Google in April 2017 and it is available built-in on the Chrome app on Android. But for your information, this feature is not present in the Chrome stable app. But in the Canary Chrome app, both on Android and PC. In addition, there is no guarantee that this feature still exists. Because Chrome Canary often add features and delete them as they see fit.

It looks very easy to use. Just click on the security status located to the left of the website address, and then the option to mute the site is in the list of details and permissions. The mute itself lasts until the setting is changed, which effectively makes it a sound ban.

How to Block Ads on Google Chrome Android

  1. Download the Chrome Canary app from the Google Play Store.
  2. Once the app is installed, open the Canary Chrome app.
  3. Tap on the menu (point three in the top right corner of the screen) and select Settings menu> Site Settings.
  4. In this new panel, click on the menu labeled ‘Ads’ until a new menu appears.
  5. There will be a menu labeled Ads, with the following information below “Block ads from sites that tend to show intrusive ads”.
  6. Well, on the right there is a switch button, move to activate it.

Voila! Let’s try it. Hopefully this information will help you.
