Twitch Ads Dodger by CafeTako

Twitch Ads Dodger keeps you watching the stream while Twitch runs an ad break.

Twitch stitches ads directly into the main video broadcast, but simultaneously serves a live picture-by-picture (preview) player above the chat. This extension automatically silences the loud ad, unmutes the live broadcast, and places the live stream preview over the main player so you never miss the action. Once the ad finishes, everything seamlessly returns to normal.

• Auto-Mute Ads: Automatically silences the video player during ads and restores your original volume the instant the ad finishes.
• Expand Live Preview: Stretches the live broadcast preview over the full player so you don't miss live gameplay or chat reactions.
• Hardware Accelerated: Uses native stream mirroring (captureStream) with zero extra CPU overhead.
• Works with Fullscreen & Theatre Mode: The preview automatically adapts when entering or exiting fullscreen mode.
• Volume Slider Stays Active: Adjusting volume during an ad controls the live preview volume in real time.
• Zero Remote Code & Privacy-Friendly: Runs 100% locally on your machine with no tracking, no telemetry, and no external servers.

That is completely normal! Twitch delivers the secondary picture-by-picture stream at a lower resolution and bitrate. When stretched across a 1080p player, it will appear softer. Full HD quality restores automatically the moment the ad finishes.
