Mute media by default

Mutes every video and audio element as soon as it appears, including content loaded later.

function muteAll() {
  document.querySelectorAll('video, audio').forEach(function (m) {
    try {
      m.muted = true;
      m.defaultMuted = true;
    } catch (e) {}
  });
}
muteAll();
new MutationObserver(muteAll).observe(document.documentElement, {
  childList: true, subtree: true
});

Does this example work?

Snippets are useless without somewhere to paste them.

JustZix takes 2 minutes to install and runs your code on every matching page. No account, no payment.
