Tips & Warnings
Alternately, consider turning down or off the volume of your computer speakers. Some intrusive audio from websites may not come in the form of advertising, thus the risks are still present for unwanted sounds. You can turn down the volume directly on the speakers, or adjust the volume control on the computer itself.
