pixeltris bd96135e24 Add "notify-swap" #59 and "vaft" #61

- Added "notify-swap" #59 which swaps the entire stream during ads instead of stripping ad segments. This should fix freezing issues on firefox.
- Added "vaft" #61 which is "Video Ad-Block, for Twitch" (fork) as a script.
- Removed "proxy" as there is a better open source alternative https://github.com/arthurbolsoni/Purple-adblock/
- Unlist "bypass" as it's built into ublock origin and doesn't really work anymore (though may reduce prerolls).
- Updated misc links in full-list.md

TwitchAdSolutions

This repo aims to provide multiple solutions for blocking Twitch ads.

Don't combine Twitch specific ad blockers.

Recommendations

Proxies are the most reliable way of avoiding ads (buffering / downtime info).

TTV LOL - chrome / firefox / code
Purple AdBlock - chrome / firefox / code

Alternatively:

Video Ad-Block, for Twitch (fork) - chrome (manual install) / code
Alternate Player for Twitch.tv - chrome / firefox
notify-strip / notify-swap / vaft - see below

Read this for a full list and descriptions.

Scripts

There are better / easier to use methods in the above Recommendations.

notify-strip (ublock / userscript)
- Ad segments are replaced by low resolution stream segments.
- Notifies Twitch that ads were "watched" (reduces preroll ad frequency).
- You may experience a small jump in time when the regular stream kicks in.
notify-swap (ublock / userscript)
- The same as notify-strip with a slightly different method to fix freezing issues (especially on Firefox).
- Has a longer jump in time compared to notify-strip.
vaft (ublock / userscript)
- Video Ad-Block, for Twitch (fork) as a script.
low-res (ublock / userscript)
- No ads.
- The stream is 480p for the duration of the stream.

Applying a script (uBlock Origin)

Navigate to the uBlock Origin Dashboard (the extension options)
Under the My filters tab add twitch.tv##+js(twitch-videoad).
Under the Settings tab, enable I am an advanced user, then click the cog that appears. Modify the value of userResourcesLocation from unset 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/notify-strip/notify-strip-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.

Applying a script (userscript)

Viewing one of the userscript files should prompt the given script to be added.
