Chrome Shows Which Tab Is Making a **ise
If you've read the previous post about the animated YouTube favicon, you should k**w I was wrong. It's **t a new YouTube feature, it's a new Chrome feature (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/26/experimental_chrome_feature_finds_audio_tabs/) that tries to detect the tabs that are producing sounds and adds an animation to the favicons.

The feature is currently available in the Canary channel (https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/canary.html) and the latest Chromium builds, so it's **t yet ready for primetime. For example, Chrome animates the Google Music favicon even if there's ** music playing, but the feature works well for YouTube videos.

While it's nice to be able to tell which tabs are **isy, the animated favicons are distracting and many people find them an**ying. Why **t add a widget that lets you control the volume for each tab or mute some of tabs?
