How it works
Signals, not guesses.
AdQuiet reads what the streaming player already shows you — ad badges, countdowns, Skip Ad buttons. It never captures video, decrypts streams, or listens to audio.
NORMALYour show is playing. AdQuiet watches page changes, not your video.
POSSIBLE_ADAn ad label, countdown or Skip button appeared. Waiting for confirmation.
CONFIRMED_ADSignals stayed consistent with enough confidence.
MUTEDThe tab is muted. Your previous mute setting was saved first.
POSSIBLE_CONTENT_RETURNAd indicators disappeared. Waiting a moment to avoid gaps between ads.
RESTOREDSound is back — only if AdQuiet muted it and you didn't change it.
Safety nets
A failsafe restores sound after 4 minutes, and on navigation or tab close.
What it can't do
Ads with no visible indicator — like some baked-in live TV breaks — can't be reliably detected.
