Do any of you know how to watch twitch without having the stream being interrupted by ads? So far I was using alternate player for Twitch tv: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/twitch_5/reviews/

But since a few day it stopped working: the stream freeze when ads are playing. Since the addon wasnt updated in a few month, I’m affrait this wont be a solution anymore.

    This is the source of scripts/addons I’ve been using since always.

    Initially uBO + Adguard Extra script worked flawlessly. Lately Twitch has been changing things and the last couple of weeks have been a pain.

    Luckily that dev is pretty active and has been recently updating the scripts.

    My current setup is uBO + vaft script (you can also try video-swap-new script). There are still buffering problems though (less severe than the last few days) and sometimes you need to refresh the page more often than you’d like because the stream just gets stuck in a buffering loop.

    Apart from that the streams work fine with no ads, no “ad is playing” screen and such interruptions.

    If you have any more questions or doubts feel free to ask.

    I use TTV LOL PRO and I haven’t seen any ads on Twitch. granted, idk if that’s cause the extension works or I just am watching channels that don’t have ads. the comments on it say it often breaks after twitch updates, so it might be the latter.

      I used it for a long time, but ads kept slipping through occasionally. And then sometimes it wouldn’t work at all for a while.

      Alternate Player seemed to.always work until recently. It would drop the resolution when ads were being blocked, but otherwise worked fine until a few days ago.
