I wrote https://github.com/ludios/mute-new-tabs and I am now happier with a quiet Chrome. The idea is to mute all new tabs and unmute them only when you interact with an in-page volume control (or manually unmute via the tab icon/context menu). This solves only the sound problem though, not the data consumption.

Awesome, thanks! Any chance you are putting it on the official extension store?

I am open to handing it over to someone I can trust who wants to distribute it there.

Cool. I never published an extension for Chrome ever, but following the guide at https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/publish looks bearable.

If you put your repository under some kind of open source licence, I can try the process on a lazy Sunday afternoon, if you like.

My email address is in my profile.

Neat! I'm checking that one out.
