SpotiShush is a browser extension that automatically mutes audio ads on many music streaming services, including:
Pick the right one for your browser:
No additional configuration is required! You just have to reload any existing tab that is playing music.
While ads can sometimes be annoying (especially in audio format), I believe most music streaming websites offer an awesome service for non-paying users. And I also believe that if most people used an ad-blocker, the free modality would probably be much more limited.
SpotiShush will instantly mute the browser tab once it detects an audio ad will play. After the ad finishes, SpotiShush will restore the tab's audio so you can enjoy your favorite songs again.
NOTE: This has been tested on Linux only!
We'll use web-ext to help with the testing/debugging process a bit. It will create a temporary profile on Firefox or Chrome for us, with SpotiShush pre-installed in it. So, to begin doing your testing, run:
Firefox:
yarn start:firefoxChrome/Chromium:
yarn start:chromiumDon't worry about having to re-run the command above every time you change something in the code, because web-ext supports hot-reloading. You may want to reload the tabs in your browser, however.
SpotiShush follows the StandardJS coding style.
