This is the second one.
I prefer this one so far.
I no longer use a button but instead use a
transparent overlay that covers the ENTIRE PAGE.
Click anywhere to mute/unmute.
This one can mute and umnute but not change the web site's "volume graphic" (at least for my problematic sites).
Which basically "tricks" the website to not know that it is muted and prevents their "lock out" overlay from popping up if I mute for "too long".
