This repo aims to provide multiple solutions for blocking Twitch ads.
Don't combine Twitch specific ad blockers.
Proxies are the most reliable way of avoiding ads (buffering / downtime info).
Alternatively:
Alternate Player for Twitch.tv
- chrome / firefoxPurple AdBlock
- chrome / firefox / codeAdGuard Extra (Beta)
- chrome / firefoxVideo Ad-Block, for Twitch
(fork) - codevideo-swap-new
- see below
Read this for a full list and descriptions.
There was an update on 31st May 2023 which may have broken some solutions.
There are better / easier to use methods in the above recommendations.
- video-swap-new - ublock / userscript / ublock (permalink)
- Uses the embed player during ads.
- Full screen ad message displayed during ads. Read the twitch announcement
- You may notice a seemingly random player reload some time after the ad message is gone.
- vaft - ublock / userscript / ublock (permalink)
Video Ad-Block, for Twitch
(fork) as a script.- Full screen ad message displayed during ads.
For the sake of security it's recommended to use a permalink when using uBlock Origin (permalinks do not auto update).
- Navigate to the uBlock Origin Dashboard (the extension options)
- Under the
My filters
tab addtwitch.tv##+js(twitch-videoad)
. - Under the
Settings
tab, enableI am an advanced user
, then click the cog that appears. Modify the value ofuserResourcesLocation
fromunset
to the full url of the solution you wish to use (if a url is already in use, add a space after the existing url). e.g.userResourcesLocation https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions/raw/master/vaft/vaft-ublock-origin.js
- To ensure uBlock Origin loads the script I recommend that you disable/enable the uBlock Origin extension (or restart your browser).
To stop using a script remove the filter and make the url unset
.
- Viewing one of the userscript files should prompt the given script to be added.
