Auto Ad Mute
Description from store

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

It absolutely does not work. It didn't work on a single ad, not on youtube or anywhere else.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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?

It's darn helpful almost all of the time. A minor but consistent improvement.

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.
