  • (2023-04-03) Ian Shere: 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.

  • (2020-11-03) Switch Ghost: I thought it was probably wishful thinking that this would work but it doesn't mute anything. The first vid that I enabled it on the extension properly skipped all skippable ads but no muting has occurred at all, which was my primary goal.

  • (2020-07-05) Илья Галай: Расширение работает нестабильно: то не выключает звук вовсе, то выключает, но после завершения рекламы звук по прежнему выключен. The extension works unstable: it doesn't turn off sound at all or turns it off, but after the end of an advertisement, sound is still turned off.

  • (2019-11-25) Matthew Stout: I didn't want to give it one star because it seems like many others have had good luck. However for me it did NOT mute 3 out of 4 videos and the few it DID mute left youtube muted after my desired video carried on.

  • (2018-08-10) P West: Very useful extension! (This seems to work better: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youmute/bhlmjoeobnofoajffmnpcahfaffihmbh/ ) 1. These 2 youtube links both play the same video. Auto Ad Mute doesn't seem to work with the second link yet. It would be awesome if it could! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckM97kSinLw https://www.youtube.com/tv#/watch/video/control?v=ckM97kSinLw' 2. There is a type of silent advert which results the video is muted even though no advert is played. (I think it's where a pop up advert like this https://pasteboard.co/H5vrhvh.png) The tab is then muted until the next real advert comes up on another video playing. [Playlist] This video seems to often get muted incorrectly: https://youtu.be/17YCFYdBX2c

  • (2018-06-26) mark ifi: Edit: good effort, but it often mutes when there aren't any ads. Edit of the edit: this comment used to say nice things about the extension. Now I use YouMute. It's more reliable. Sorry Jasoberai.

  • (2018-06-09) Nathan La'maire: You've been trolled by YouTube. This extension always mute my video even there has no any advertisements. It also mutes my video when I skip some of video parts. Anyway, this extension is good for keeping me away from the stupid Udemy, a hard-sale piece of sh** course even I already have a programming skills, ad.

  • (2018-04-12) Alexandria Addams: Overall this is a great extension. I still rate it 5 stars even though there's a few bugs. The extension will often mute the tab when a pop-up ad is showing, and sometimes it will mute shorter videos from the beginning, even if no ad was played. Both these issues are only a minor inconvenience though, as simply disabling and enabling the extension from the toolbar resets the mute.

  • (2018-04-11) Prime Technophilia: As many say, is a hit or miss, sometimes will mistakenly mute a actual video and refreshing doesn't solve the problem, it will mute the video again after a few seconds. Could be some sort of conflict with Ublock and the Ublock Whitelister plugs, I dunno.

  • (2017-12-28) The_Dark_Jumper: Pretty good so far, sadly it mutes the ads on twitch but won't unmute automatically afterwards. Not sure what to do about that, you can't whitelist sites so I can't see a way to fix this without an update to the app. Also...muting mid-rolls would be epic!

  • (2017-11-18) Lucas Sousa: I noticed that after i installed this app there haven`t been anymore ads with the skip option available, is that caused by the app?

  • (2017-10-17) Decadent Dandy: Extremely hit-or-miss. Mostly gets the before-video ad but can't cope with any ad (video or banner) within the video itself. Occasionally mutes videos that don't have ads beforehand. Will be looking for a different extension to do the job.
