NOTE-003 Build note Object · ATO

ATO now shows you which tabs are making noise

A Playing Media section lists every tab producing sound, with audible tabs floated to the top and flagged everywhere they appear.

Some tab problems aren’t about duplicates or clutter. Sometimes a tab somewhere is just playing sound, and you have no idea which one.

ATO v1.8.0 surfaces it. A new Playing Media section sits at the top of the popup, listing every tab currently producing sound.

  • Tabs playing media are flagged with a speaker icon everywhere they appear — the media section, All Tabs, domain groups, duplicates, and search results.
  • Audible tabs float to the top of the All Tabs list and of each domain group, layered on top of whatever sort you’ve chosen.

Under the hood it’s backed by a small, tested sortAudibleFirst() utility. The “Duplicate Tabs” section was also renamed to “Duplicated Tabs” while we were in there.
