Review Summary
Twitch Ad Muter effectively mutes midroll ads on Twitch, improving user experience by lowering surprisingly loud ad volumes. However, many users report that it does not mute the first preroll ad and can be intermittent, requiring frequent resets or reinstallation. Compatibility issues arise with multiple tabs or browser restarts, and some users encounter broken features or lack of maintenance. Despite these problems, the extension remains a valuable tool for minimizing ad disruption, especially when traditional ad blockers fail.
Pros
- Effectively mutes midroll ads, significantly reducing ad noise on Twitch streams.
- Works well as a backup when traditional ad blockers fail.
- Easy to use and provides a better viewing experience by lowering loud ad volumes.
- Compatible with multiple browsers like Brave and Edge as per user reports.
- Some users appreciate that it handles Twitch's new audio-only ads.
Cons
- Does not consistently mute the first ad (preroll ads) in a series, only subsequent ads are muted.
- Extension sometimes stops working after a period or after restarting the computer, requiring reinstallation or re-enabling.
- Intermittent functionality with occasional failures to mute ads or muting streams unnecessarily.
- Issues with extension being greyed out or linked homepage being broken, suggesting a lack of maintenance.
- Problems related to the extension not functioning properly when multiple tabs or browsers are open, indicating tab detection issues.
