Image from store Mute Ads and Pause After Ads in Hulu

Description from store FYI: Does not work with Adblocker or other ad blocking tools that block hulu's servers running. 3.0 fixes plug-in which broke a while back after a player update. Current options: New Pausing that does a better job of working with the new player Mute Ads: When checked of all ads are muted. When show starts it is unmuted. Pause After Ads: When checked after the ads finish the show is paused and ready to go when you hit play. Play a tone after Ads complete: When checked a tone plays to let you know you can return to the show. Tone Volume: Set the Volume of the tone that plays after ads complete 100 is loud. 30 is soft. Blink title bar: When checked you can see what tab has just finished its ads and is ready to be watch. Use case if you are checking emails during the muted ads you know when the ads are done when it blinks. 2.9 fixed CLICK TO RESUME overlay to make it appear in fullscreen 2.7 issues with Playing a tone after videos end is fixed. You can turn off the tone in the options. 2.6 issues in popup player fixed.Thanks for letting me know it had stopped working 2.5 removed unnecessary permission 2.4 Now supports a volume control for the tone played whens ads finish 2.3 added another option to turn off the Blinking Title when an ad ends. It was originally designed to do that so I could tell when an ad ended while on another tab checking my email. In some cases it is not usefull so I am allowing you the users to decide to use it or not. Thanks for all the good ideas keep them coming. 2.2 adds an option to allow you to set if a tone plays at the end of ads to alert you if you had walked away from your computer to get a snack. Thanks to all the people that email with issue and changes you want. I set things up the way I think they should work but really this needs to work the way you want please email with any issues you have. The last 2 changes and improvements are from recommendations from users. Thanks again. FYI: Does not work with Adblocker running. 2.1 fixes that this now works with multiple tabs of the hulu player open. Also now works with Pop-out. I had been muting ads and answering emails. I decided I should be able to write a script to do this. Also noticed I would get sucked into something and then miss part of the show and have to rewind. So I also coded this to pause after the ads finished. This is an active product and I would be willing to fix it up or change it if you have a feeling I missed something.

(2021-09-17) Noah Yona: Awesome extension! I got sick of listening to literal poop ads while i ate and watched Hulu. Thank you!
(2019-12-16) Ziloren Feral: I really really wish this worked, but I have to agree with the 90% of reviewers from 2018.. this just doesn't work at all anymore. :(
(2019-11-17) Jay Fesco: Doesn't work
(2019-01-15) Andrew Fox: Does not work
(2018-12-29) D: This extension has not worked for such a long time and still does not work today. Hulu has managed to block it from working. Hopefully this extension will work again some day :( For now, you have to mute the ads manually.
(2018-11-25) Steve Davis: Doesn't work at all.
(2018-10-15) Matthew Taylor: 100% non-functional... except for the checkboxes. They check, but don't do anything.
(2018-10-09) ChaoticMay: It used to work, now it won't mute ads or pause after they finish and sometimes the bell doesn't even ring at the right time (after ads are done playing).
(2018-06-26) Glen Dizongo: works perfectly, incredibly sick of hulu playing the same 3 ads with the same ugly songs over and over again, this extension is a saving grace and major props to the dev for making this.
(2018-04-28) John Barner: Does not work. Doesn't mute ads, and the options don't do anything when you click them either. Totally non-functional.
(2017-11-09) Tiffany A: Doesn't seem to work anymore.
(2017-08-17) Chris Curme: This does not work.
(2017-07-03) Justin Cardisco: It used to work, but hasn't for many weeks...don't DL
(2016-10-31) Cherie: It seems that the mute is timed or something because sometimes it stops muting in the middle of a commercial. Unfortunately on the loudest part.
(2016-10-07) Stephanabelle: didn't work at all.
(2016-08-28) Mike Young: Been using this addon for a week now and it works perfectly. Would it be possible to lower the volume, instead of muting it completely. Being able to drop it to 50%, 25%, 10% volume, that sort of thing. I find the ads are always much louder than the actual tv show, but also don't want there to be complete silence. Thanks!
(2016-05-24) David Newton: Works. Would be nice if you could have it play some music quietly from your PC or stream during the commercial break.
(2016-04-14) It's fixed now! I had always loved this extension, but for the last few months it hasn't always muted or paused correctly, and now it is, thanks for the update.
(2016-03-05) Auhsoj Nayr Oktrab: nice lil thing, but NEVER saw ANY improvements. and now its pretty much useless because Hulu now offers Commercial Free option for 3-4$ more a month. MORE THAN WORTH IT! Especially if you are anything like me and hate ads with a passion like no other. Decent while it lasted. And technically it could still be improved upon, as I am sure not everyone will go commercial free and still might want an option such as this.
(2016-02-27) Jeff X: At first I thought it wasn't working, so I closed hulu window and reopened. Still wasn't working, then I noticed a red speaker icon in the upper right hand corner of screen and I clicked on it. There are some options. I clicked on the box next to the words "mute adds". It works awesomely. It does appear to not work if you switch to viewing another tab while the commercial is running. I get so sick of having to scramble to adjust the volume on my computer every ten minutes or whatever it is when commercials come on. Especially when I'm trying to wind down at night and fall asleep. So far this thing works great. If Hulu had not been so egregiously , and greedily,abusing my senses, and possibly breaking the law, I wouldn't have even taken the ten minutes it took me to search for an add on like this.
(2016-02-18) James Doan: Barely works... Would mute one commercial and leaves the others alone. For example: One ad block would play 3 ads in that block and this stupid thing would let the first one run and mute the middle one then leave the final one alone. Meaning 2 out of 3 commercials would play normally with sounds while one would be muted. You might as well not have this thing on.
(2016-02-13) Justin Shands: Works pretty well for normal Hulu ads, but when they have a "Trivia Option" to avoid ads, it properly mutes the survey, but then it doesn't unmute the main show audio. The little volume meter shows that it's not muted, but the sound doesn't come through... so I have to refresh the page, and then watch ads on the next view.
(2015-12-23) Mahesh kumar Selvaraj: works great just have to disable ad blockers
(2015-12-11) Dulcet Ditz: Works fantastic.
(2015-12-06) ShoeUnited: Broken now.
(2015-11-12) Ethan Wolff: Very helpful as the ads are often annoying and much louder than the regular show. It makes ignoring the ads much easier when you can't hear them.
(2015-07-26) Quinton Morairty: Does what it says. I'd like it more if it worked on the Funimation website that runs hulu and hulus stupid ads.
(2015-05-01) Kira Condee-Padunova: This addon was really great, but it stopped working after I installed Ad Blocker Plus
