Web browser extensions / scripts: - https://github.com/ttvintrusiveadblocker/ttv-intrusive-blocker - Uses a proxy on the main m3u8 file to get a stream without ads (no prerolls / midrolls). - https://github.com/odensc/ttv-ublock - Simulates `embed` Twitch player at a network level (doesn't modify DOM). - Twitch detects this and may display a purple screen every 10-15 mins asking the user to remove ad blockers. - https://github.com/Nerixyz/ttv-tools - Notifies Twitch that ads were watched and then reloads the player. - Can replace ad segments with a customm video (instead of ad skipping). - Can keep stream at lowest latency (speeds up stream if too far behind). - https://github.com/LeonHeidelbach/ttv_adEraser - Modifies DOM to switch between the `embed` player when there's ads. May display purple screen if both ads and purple screen show at the same time? - https://github.com/instance01/Twitch-HLS-AdBlock - Removes ad segments. May result in m3u8 being requested quickly in succession if all segments are removed. - https://github.com/Wilkolicious/twitchAdSkip - https://gist.github.com/simple-hacker/ddd81964b3e8bca47e0aead5ad19a707/ - https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/415412-twitch-refresh-on-advert/code - Reloads the player (or page) when it detects the ad banner in DOM. - `Alternate Player for Twitch.tv` - Notifies Twitch that ads were watched before loading the main stream (prerolls). - Removes ad segments which cannot be skipped (midrolls). The player will freeze on the last live frame until no more ads. Applications / third party websites: - https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink - Removes ad segments (I assume this will freeze on the last live frame until no more ads). - https://github.com/nopbreak/TwitchMod - Unsure how this one blocks ads, but it claims that it can. As this is a mod of the official Twitch app (which isn't obfuscated) they might have insight into better ad blocking methods. - https://twitchls.com/ - Uses the `embed` player. Purple screen may display every 10-15 mins. - https://reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/kisdsy/i_did_a_little_test_regarding_ads_on_twitch_and/ - Some countries don't get ads. A simple VPN/VPS could be used to block ads by proxying the m3u8 without having to run a VPS on your all your traffic (just the initial m3u8).
