Policies provide system administrators and users with options to configure the behavior of certain features of the Windows operating system or applications available on machines running it.

They are used mostly to control machines of a computer network but since all professional versions of Windows ship with the Group Policy Editor, can be used on individual PCs as well to modify preferences.

One of the Chrome features that I like a lot is that the browser displays audio indicators if audio is played in a tab in it.

Even better, it offers options to mute that audio with a single click on the tab. Gone are the times where you had to mute the browser's sound output, go through tabs individually to find the offending page, or even close the browser completely to disable the sound from playing on your system.
