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).

Alternatively:

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 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.
