Latest version
Version 1.8
Released May 11, 2026 - 662.58 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterVersion 1.8 changelog:
- Eliminated the brief audio blip between back-to-back ads: unmute is now deferred by 2 seconds after the duration timer expires, and a new ad arriving in that window cancels the unmute so the tab stays muted seamlessly.
- True game-resume is unaffected: if Hotstar requests an actual cricket video chunk during the settle window, the tab unmutes immediately.Source code released under GNU General Public License v2.0 only
