Auto-mutes Hotstar & Zee5 ads. 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.

- 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 ad breaks in real time using DOM signals in the Zee5 player
- Mutes the video the instant an ad starts
- Unmutes automatically when content resumes
- Works despite Zee5's SSAI architecture (AWS MediaTailor server-side ad stitching)
- 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.
