| There's an extension called "Twitch PixelMute" (originally a Firefox .xpi but can be unzipped and manually installed in Chrome). Found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/twitch-pixelmute/ What it does: By way of an "eyedropper", you create a rule for an exact pixel location and color for it to monitor. Think of an ad that says "skip ad" in the corner, define your rule by selecting a pixel in that "skip ad" button. The extension MUTES the browser when that pixel "rule" is detected. Problem: It only works on Twitch (never heard of it), Kick (never heard of it), and YouTube (useless because uBO already blocks ads). Concept: This should be done in REVERSE. ie, don't MUTE a tab based on a pixel location and color but rather MUTE BY DEFAULT and *UNMUTE* based on pixel location and color. I'm thinking of the way that pretty much all television streaming channels operate - the channel's LOGO in the corner AT ALL TIMES. But there is *NO* logo when the streaming channel is playing an AD. |

Thanks for the info  I'm not using Twich much but last time I did, about 2 weeks ago, I didn't had any ads. Using uBlock Origin + uMatrix + NoScript. I know, some may say it's too much and redundant in some cases, but at least I have full control over the content. |

| Not sure why you moved this to the "Browsers" section. Perhaps "Concepts" wasn't the right location, but why "Browsers"? I actually have a "working prototype" (very buggy, but 'proof-of-concept') using AutoHotkey. System-wide, has nothing to do with "browsers". |

Because it's a browser extension and the Browsers forum belongs to Hardware, Software and Customization → General Software & Hardware → Browsers. The Concept forum is about "Have a concept you made and want to share? This is the place." |

| Gray area. I'm using AutoHotkey (has nothing to do with any web browser and is not an "extension") for a working system-wide prototype. But yeah, all of my streaming is via web browser (but it doesn't have to be). |
