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 PRO - code
• TTV LOL - chrome / code

Alternatively:

• Alternate Player for Twitch.tv - chrome / firefox
• Purple AdBlock - chrome / firefox / code
• AdGuard Extra (Beta) - chrome / firefox
• Video Ad-Block, for Twitch (fork) - code
• video-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.

Scripts

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).

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/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.

Applying a script (userscript)

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