Twitch Ad Muter

Mutes Twitch tabs when ads roll

What is Twitch Ad Muter?
"Twitch Ad Muter" is a brilliantly designed Chrome extension, aiming to improve users' Twitch experience. It operates by automatically muting Twitch ads, preventing unsuspecting viewers from the often booming volumes associated with them. This is particularly useful for individuals who binge-watch their favorite content late into the night, providing a stable and less-disturbance-prone environment.

It works! (April 2024, Edge)

doesn't work for me
by Martin Nefjodov Martin Nefjodov, 2024-04-25

It works but I have to reinstall it every time I restart my pc. It will not work after turning on my pc no matter how many times I refresh a stream or switch streams but removing it and reinstalling it works, no idea why. Edit: I think I narrowed it down to why, if I have another chrome tab opened on another monitor especially for another website the muter doesn't work. If I close that tab and then refresh the twitch stream the ad muted works. Seems to have an issue knowing which tab is active/finding the twitch stream tab when an ad is playing. As for the muter not working after a restart that still seems to be the case as I had the single tab and single instance of chrome open and it did not mute the ads. For reference this is on an M1 mac using chrome for ARM. Second Edit: No longer works for me as of April 24th, remove extension and reinstall it, fully restart chrome and have a single tab with a twitch stream open and it fails to mute.
