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 - chrome / firefox / code

Alternatively:

Alternate Player for Twitch.tv - chrome / firefox
Purple AdBlock - chrome / firefox / code
AdGuard Extra - chrome / firefox / userscript
video-swap-new - see below

Read this for a full list and descriptions.

Also see this list maintained by @zGato.

Scripts

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

video-swap-new - userscript / ublock / ublock (permalink)
- Uses a lower resolution stream during ads.
vaft - userscript / ublock / ublock (permalink)
- The same as video-swap-new but attempts to get a clean stream faster (may suffer from more freezing / playback issues).

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://raw.githubusercontent.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions/master/video-swap-new/video-swap-new-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.

For the sake of security it's recommended to use a permalink when using uBlock Origin (permalinks do not auto update).

The scripts may randomly stop being applied by uBlock Origin for unknown reasons (#200). It's recommended to use the userscript versions instead.

Applying a script (userscript)

Viewing one of the userscript files should prompt the given script to be added when you have a userscript manager installed.

Issues with the scripts

If the script doesn't work or you're experiencing freezing / buffering issues see issues.md
