In Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away."TwitchAdSolutions – Blocking Twitch Ads
114 points · Open discussionNot ublock, but I've been using the userscript here[1] with decent success. It uses the 360p feed while ads play.

In Blocklist that contain AI generated content for uBlock Origin and uBlacklistTwitchAdSolutions "video-swap-new" works for me. I use the Userscript version (you install it using TamperMonkey).

In Blocklist that contain AI generated content for uBlock Origin and uBlacklistThere are tampermonkey script(s) and ublock filter scripts that swap out the advert video with the live broadcast video (but in low res) - i have lived with that for now, esp. since i watch esports on twitch, and it sucks that i would have missed key moments of a game when an ad plays during it!
There's several ones listed here : https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions
I use the scripts (https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions#scripts) instead of the proxy solution, as i dont want to rely on a third party server to be working.
In Amazon Prime Video starts showing ads in January unless you pay $2.99/month xtraActually the modern vaft script can completely bypass ads and has seen minimal changes for well over a year. Twitch gave up because most people, even the tech savvy ones, don't know about the solutions anymore.

In Does uBlock Origin bypass the latest YouTube anti-adblock script?You might be interested in https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions. A combination of its vaft uBlock script and using a VPN connected to somewhere in Austria has kept me pretty much ad-free for years.
In Show HN: YouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their adsI know you're being ironic, but routing through a proxy in a country that doesn't receive advertisements is a real technique [0] for ad-blocking on Twitch, where the ads are embedded as part of the m3u8 playlist.

In Show HN: YouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their adsYet. Twitch has some pretty hardcore ad system that even uBlock can't block straight up and you have to use a combination of tools/scripts

In YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockersFWIW there is a GitHub repo [0] which keeps track of currently-working ways to block Twich ads. If you don't need chat, ff2mpv [1] can be used to send streams directly to MPV by right clicking on them in the browser. This bypasses the entire proprietary Twitch frontend and displays a silent purple screen during ad breaks.
