Auto-mutes Hotstar live match ads and fast-forwards Prime Video ads,
so you never have to lose your cool.
JustHot is a lightweight Chrome extension (Manifest V3) built for streaming viewers who are tired of ad interruptions. It runs silently in the background — no accounts, no setup, no data collection.
- Platform: Google Chrome (Manifest V3)
- Version: 5.0.0
- Size: < 50 KB
| Asset | Usage |
|---|---|
| Active state (both or either platform enabled) | |
| Inactive state (all platforms off) |
Primary color: #ff7a00 — used for the active toggle pill and brand accent.
Background: #0f1014 — deep dark, easy on the eyes during night matches.
- Detects ad breaks in real time using Hotstar's ad-impression tracking signal
- Mutes the browser tab the instant an ad starts
- Unmutes automatically when the match resumes
- Parses ad duration from the tracking URL for precise timing
- Detects Prime Video ad UI using DOM selectors and text patterns
- Speeds through ads at 16× playback (muted)
- Clicks visible skip buttons automatically
- Restores original playback speed and audio the moment the show resumes
Each platform has its own On/Off toggle — enabling one does not affect the other.
