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.

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.

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 of video-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.
