I am looking for a firefox extension that will allow me to toggle microphone access, preferrably per tab, for example disabling it while I’m not speaking in a zoom meeting to reduce tracking.
Edit: clarification due to misunderstanding: i want something that lets me toggle actually giving a site mic input without removing permissions
I mean something that lets me toggle actual mic input to sites once they have access, because if you turn it off you need to refresh to turn it back on.
On many earbuds, you can electrically short the microphone by holding the button. However, the OS will likely detect that and might react by ending the call or something, and if you plug in your headphones in that state, the mic will not be detected.
