Auto Ad Mute Extension

Code is available here as open source:
[https://github.com/jasmeeto/auto-ad-mute]

An extension that automatically mutes tabs while ad audio from YouTube is playing for those who want to support their favorite content creators without the noise.

Relatively intuitive, the addon is enabled by default.

Features:
- Mutes ads
- Can skip ads that are skippable (i.e. ones that show the 'Skip Ad' button) (Disabled by default)
- Hides ad banners that appear in middle of videos by just moving them off screen

CD CD (ID: 000000f8c696e915) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/15/2023 It absolutely does not work. It didn't work on a single ad, not on youtube or anywhere else.

Ian Shere (ID: 00000010010abdc2) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/03/2023 I hate the way YT has really cranked up the volume on the ads they play (and play WAY too often). I thought this sounded like the perfect solution, and it would be if it did what it advertised. Sadly, it doesn't. I think it skipped one ad, but has done nothing since. And muting the sound....??? LOL, LOL , LOL.... nope... Perhaps I missed something, but I don't think so.
