Commentary Off — Remove Commentary, Keep the Game Sound

Commentary Off turns down the TV commentary on sports streams so you can watch the match with just the stadium: the crowd, the players, the referee's whistle and the sound of the ball. Open a match in a Chrome tab, click the Commentary Off icon and switch it ON. The extension processes that tab's sound with an on-device speech-separation model and plays it back with the commentary lowered and the game sound kept. Switch it OFF and the tab sounds exactly as before. Features • One switch: ON lowers the commentary, OFF restores the original sound • Keeps crowd noise, chants, whistles and ball sounds • Works on video in normal web page tabs (YouTube and other sites) • 100% local: audio never leaves your computer, nothing is uploaded or recorded, no account • No ads, no tracking, no network requests Good to know • How much commentary is removed depends on the broadcast mix; it works best when the commentator is clearly separate from the crowd. • Adds a small delay (about 0.1 s) to the tab's sound while ON. • Chrome doesn't allow capturing its own pages (chrome://, the Chrome Web Store). Some sites with copy protection may not allow audio capture. • Tested with English commentary. • Requires Chrome 116 or newer. If you enjoy it, you can tip the developer from the popup (optional, opens Ko-fi).
