TwitchAdSolutions Overview
This project provides a curated collection of solutions and custom scripts designed to block advertisements on Twitch.tv. The goal is to offer multiple, reliable methods for an uninterrupted viewing experience.
It is important to not combine multiple Twitch-specific ad blockers, as they can conflict with each other and cause playback issues.
Recommended Solutions
For most users, using a proxy-based browser extension is the most reliable way to avoid ads. Proxies work by fetching the stream playlist from a country where ads are not served, effectively bypassing them. However, be aware of potential proxy issues like buffering or downtime.
Primary Recommendation:
TTV LOL PRO
: A powerful extension with significant improvements for ad blocking.
Alternative Solutions:
If the primary recommendation doesn't work for you, consider these alternatives:
- Alternate Player for Twitch.tv: Removes ad segments entirely, resulting in no playback until the ad-free stream is available.
- Purple AdBlock: Replaces ad segments with ad-free versions. May show a loading wheel if all methods fail.
- AdGuard Extra: A script-based solution that behaves similarly to this project's own
video-swap-new
script.
For a complete list of solutions, including applications and other methods, please see the Solutions section.
Custom Scripts
This repository also maintains two custom scripts that offer an alternative ad-blocking method by swapping the video stream during ad breaks. These are for more advanced users who prefer not to use extensions.
video-swap-new
: Swaps the main stream with a lower-resolution, ad-free stream during commercials.vaft
: A variation ofvideo-swap-new
that attempts to get a clean stream faster, but may be more prone to freezing or playback issues.
To learn how to use these, refer to the Applying the Scripts guide. For technical details, see the Scripts documentation.
