Blocking ads on that certain streaming website

TTV ad-block

Twitch has circumvented this method of ad-blocking with a third-party extension warning screen.

The extension is still available as described below, but depending on your usage, may not be adequate. This repository is now archived.

@pixeltris has also curated some possible alternative methods: https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions


Works best when paired with uBlock Origin

Chrome/Firefox extension that should? block ads on Twitch.

For security, this extension uses the minimum amount of permissions possible, and the code is as simple as possible.

  • Chrome installation
  • Firefox installation
  • Notes and troubleshooting

Chrome installation

Download the extension from the Chrome extension site: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ttv-ad-block/kndhknfnihidhcfnaacnndbolonbimai

If you previously did a manual installation, remove that extension and install this one for automatic updates.

Firefox installation

Download the extension on the Firefox addons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ttv-adblock/

If you previously did a manual installation, remove that extension and install this one for automatic updates.

Notes and troubleshooting

  • If you previously did the userResourcesLocation trick in uBlock, remove that script and purge the cache, as it will conflict.
  • If you have "Alternate Player for Twitch.tv" installed, disable it.
