User reviews

The 'Mute Twitch Ads' Firefox add-on is praised for automatically muting Twitch ads and restoring volume after ads end, effectively improving the viewing experience by eliminating disruptive ad sounds. However, several users report that recent Firefox updates have caused the extension to fail or behave inconsistently, with issues such as ads sometimes not being muted or unmuted correctly. While it generally works well and is appreciated for saving manual muting, occasional glitches and lack of advanced volume control features are notable drawbacks.

Recent reviews

Fairly reliable until very recently. A 2025 firefox updae may have been it's end. It no longer detects properly, most often muting ads and remaining muted. Sometimes doing nothing at all.

Doesn't seem to be working anymore. At first it stopped unmuting ads after they were over, but now it seems to do nothing at all.
