At this point, if I see or come across any commercial and I can't turn them off with ad blockers or any other method ..... I use the MUTE BUTTON.

I always used to do that with cable TV in the 90s, now I'm using this more often again.

Also serial muter... I call commercials "ear cancer".

I wish someone could come up with a 'commercial silencer button' ... a mute button that would mute the audio but also dim the video by 50% ... then when you unmuted, audio comes back and so does full brightness.

Yes, and I pull up the TV settings menu to cover most of the screen so my kids can't watch muted commercials, either.
