## Description

AdBlacker is a Firefox add-on that blacks out ads on popular video streaming websites. It draws a black screen above the video player and mutes it while ads are being played. Once the ads are over, it automatically removes the black screen and unmutes the player. Currently, it supports Twitch and may be adapted for other sites if there is demand.
