    Doesn’t work on Twitch; They embed the ads directly in the stream. If you block the ads, you also block the stream.

      Alternate Player for Twitch on firefox makes the stream load for a few seconds and makes it a little pixelated for a few seconds, but I’ve never seen an ad on it, and the feed is nearly continuous.

      Twitch adblocking could use a few more solutions, though.

      You can make a black screen to cover up the ads, you can’t skip it, but you can avoid seeing it.

      Also, you can VPN to russia 😉

      Thanks, putin

      (for context: Russian IPs do not see ads because of sanctions)

        Also, regulation.

        For instance you’re not allowed to advertise alcohol in Finland. One time I saw someone else’s stream or something which made me realise I’ve never seen any beer ads online really.

      Oh, is that right? I basically only watch 1 channel and I’m subbed, so I guess I just never noticed… I tried to get an ad on Twitch for the past 30 minutes watching several streamers though and didn’t get a single one.

      Look up Twitch Ad Solutions, there’s a github page where you can find a couple different options. The Alternate Twitch player another commentor mentioned is what I use because I like the adjustable chat and auto-collect bits feature
