About Twitch Ad Tab Muter: Watch Through Ads

**NEW in v3.0: Watch Through Ads** No more staring at a muted ad. This extension enlarges Twitch's own picture-by-picture mini-player over the ad so you keep watching the live stream while the ad plays behind it. **Key Features:** Watch Through Ads - When an ad starts, the live stream you were watching mirrors into a mini-player on top of the ad, so you never lose the moment. Auto Ad Muting - Instantly mutes tabs when ads play, keeping streamers' ad revenue and viewer counts intact. Smart Multi-Stream Management - Rank your favorite streams with drag-and-drop. Automatically switches to the highest-ranked stream without ads. Customizable Controls - Toggle each feature independently. Use just ad muting, just the stream mini-player, or enable full multi-tab control. Respects Your Choices - Won't force tab switches when you're browsing elsewhere; keeps routing audio to your best stream in the background instead. **How Multi-Tab Control Works:** 1. Open multiple Twitch streams in separate tabs 2. Enable "Multi-Tab Control" in the extension popup 3. Drag streams to set priority (top = highest priority) 4. Extension automatically switches to the best available stream when ads play 5. Enjoy seamless viewing across all your favorite streams **Why Not Block Ads?** Blocking ads hurts streamers. This extension lets them earn revenue while you enjoy uninterrupted viewing. By muting the tab (not the player) and mirroring the stream rather than skipping the ad, streamers still get full credit for ad views. **Privacy Focused:** - No data collection - No external servers - Works entirely in your browser Support your favorite streamers while enjoying a better viewing experience!
