Extension that automatically plays youtube, spotify, and more over top of commercials on live sport streams

Commercials during live sport streams are pretty much the only time online I see ads anymore and I wanted to be done with that so I created an open source browser extension that automatically detects commercials on any streaming service (YouTubeTV, Hulu, Sling, Peacock, bootleg sites, etc.) and plays youtube, spotify, or other media over top of them. Here is a video on how it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DlAmCWWS4c , but basically it just looks for a logo/graphic that you select that only displays when the game you are watching is on, when the logo/graphic goes away, that means it is a commercial, so the extension mutes your sport stream and plays the youtube playlist, spotify playlist, or other media that you set over top of it. Here are the links to the extension:

Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/youtube-over-commercials/eikhblhblnhmagncgpfbofhbkpgbohif

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-over-commercials/

And the code if anybody is interested in that: https://github.com/RG-O/YoutubeOverCommercials

Let me know if you try it out and you run into any issues or have any ideas to make it better!
