Mutex is a browser extension for JioHotstar cricket streams that helps you stay locked in on the match. It automatically mutes ad breaks and softens the screen with blur and fade effects, so the flow of the game feels far less interrupted.
- Automatically mutes audio during detected ad breaks
- Applies blur and fade effects while ads are playing
- Uses a layered detection pipeline: network, DOM, and fallback checks
- Includes popup controls for adjusting blur and fade strength
- Supports Chrome, Edge, and Firefox
- Download the extension from the Releases page.
- Extract the ZIP file to a folder on your computer.
- Keep that extracted folder in place after installation, because the browser loads the extension directly from it.
- Open
chrome://extensionsin your browser. - Enable
Developer mode. - Click
Load unpacked. - Select the extracted folder.
Mutex should now be installed and ready to use. Pin it to your toolbar for quicker access during matches.
