I couldn't find the setting "don't give websites the permission to play sound" (mutes all audio unless enabled per-site) in Edge, or Firefox. Chrome has that setting.

Firefox:
Tools/Settings/Privacy & Security/Permissions/Autoplay/Settings/Default for all Websites: Block Audio

Not the same thing, audio will still start playing after user interaction with the site. The setting in Chrome blocks all audio from the site, regardless of what you do.

Mute Firefox in the Windows equalizer?

But I still want to allow sound on a small number of select sites like YouTube or Twitch. It just needs to be off for the other 99% of the web.
