## Description

QuietBreak protects Twitch viewers from sudden, excessively loud advertisements without changing their preferred streamer volume.

Enable QuietBreak independently for any Twitch tab. When Twitch displays an advertisement marker, the extension immediately mutes the media element and applies a tab-level mute as a safety measure. When the advertisement ends, QuietBreak restores the previous media and tab mute states.

Features:

• Per-tab activation
• Immediate advertisement muting
• Automatic sound restoration
• Support for multi-ad commercial breaks
• No accounts, analytics, tracking, advertising, or external connections
• Stores only enabled tab IDs locally

QuietBreak detects advertisements through indicators in Twitch’s player interface. Twitch is a trademark of Twitch Interactive, Inc. QuietBreak is an independent extension and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Twitch.
