Twitch has gotten insufferable with ads lately. Sometimes I’m getting 3mins straight of ads.

To add insult to injury, twitch is buggy as hell and I often need to refresh and usually it loads new ads.

I used to have a special config in ublock specifically for twitch but that doesn’t seem to work anymore.

Any tips?

TTV Pro lol (its a firefox extension)

You could try Grayjay. I haven’t tried watching Twitch through it and that source is in beta, but the app is great overall

Ads get through on it, sadly.

Patch the app with revanced. Though DNS poising still works fine for me

this is what I did. I don’t use twitch very often but I don’t think I’ve ever seen ads on it after I patched it with revanced

I’m assuming this is a mobile only option?

I guess it would work on desktop too, but in an Android emulator.

I don’t watch twitch, but on F-droid for Android there is an app called twire that might be worth checking out.

If using Android, use xtra

I use uBlock but every now and then Twitch ads start slipping through, They normally go back to being blocked with the next uBlock update.

It’s a real cat and mouse game.

There’s a Firefox and Chrome extension called TTV LOL PRO which blocks ads on Twitch.

This is also what I am currently using. Sometimes it freezes the stream when it does I whitelist the current channel temporarily.

I don’t have a twitch account, but try NoScript. The site works when only allowing twitch.tv and twitchcdn.net to load (as in I can navigate and join streams) but this might disable account features. I think the ads you’re referring to are coming from amazon-adsystem.com but ads directly from streamers can’t be disabled afaik.

amazonads has already been blocked but I just blocked amazon and waiting to see if that does the trick.

Weirdly ublock and firefox is enough for me to not see twitch ads. Friends of mine report seeing ads as well on twitch with the same config. I really don‘t know what it is since i don‘t have anything fancy like a pihole or similar

sometimes it goes black instead of showing an ad for me. F5 solves it

Maybe someone gifted you a sub and you didn’t notice. Happened to me.

Issue for me with MPV is that it crashes whenever, I’m trying to put an URL in it.

Apparently I missed the “YT-DL”. Got it now and it works, apologies.

If somehow none of anyone else’s suggestions work for you, I’ve found success with PurpleTV, which comes as an extension if on PC or app if on android

Doesn’t work for me. Do you have any custom rules?

Do you have the default filters? Try updating them as well. This should not be happening. Also, try adding the unchecked by default, adguard filter.

If you’re on Android, try Twire

I used to use Twire, but now prefer Xtra. It has a nicer UI and is updated more frequently.
