Description from extension meta

Swaps video ads for an ad-free stream.

Image from store Video Ad-Block, for Twitch
Description from store YOU MUST DISABLE TTV LOL / PURPLE ADBLOCK FOR THIS EXTENSION TO WORK. This video adblock for Twitch extension will swap Twitch video ads for an ad-free version of the stream at 480p and then automatically switch back to the original video quality once the ad is finished. This is all done locally, no proxies, no VPN's and no third party websites. The extension does not collect nor share any personal information and is opensource, link is below. Works best when used with UBlock Origin, although this extension does also block some ad tracking URL's. If you would like to support the dev/author, you can via the Paypalme link: https://paypal.me/ttvadblock Or you can contribute via crypto: https://commerce.coinbase.com/checkout/f289396a-e426-4b23-8daf-1ca9887fe2be You MUST remove any other previous Twitch specific ad blockers or user-scripts in case of conflicts. For example, TTV LoL and Purple Ad-Block will override this extension and stop it from working. However this extension can be used with uBlock Origin (Without user-scripts installed). If you have issues while using this extension, please note, some ad-blocker extensions may interfere with this extension. The extension code is opensource and can be looked at here: https://github.com/saucettv/VideoAdBlockForTwitch Permissions: We ask for the Twitch URL permission so that we can put the content script into the page and block the ads.

  • (2022-03-22) Roshank231: Works well enough, much much better than having to sit through the ads anyway. it plays in 480p while ads are playing which is fine, but it does freeze when ads start/stop playing for a couple moments. Overall, i still very much recommend it. its still leaps more watchable then sitting through 4 or 5 ads every 20 minutes. Recently twitch have enforced the use of ads more and more aggressively too, this tweak makes the platform so much more usable.
  • (2022-03-22) Anastacio Maza: excelente!
  • (2022-03-21) Javier Melendo: Muy buena extensión, no salta ningún anuncio. El único problema es que te baja la resolución del stream, si lo solucionan le doy 5 estrellas
  • (2022-03-20) 徐鼎嘉: 垃圾圖奇7414
  • (2022-03-19) Shadonic: I don't mind watching in 480p during ads, but you need to make this extension 1) stop freezing twitch streams after ads are done playing, and 2) switch back to our default quality after the ads are done.
  • (2022-03-19) Andrew: works great, had to find a new extension when adblock stopped working on twitch, works great thanks
  • (2022-03-19) CensoredMercy: Great extension, works perfectly on my main PC. For some reason on mac it makes stream buffer and update frequently which is annoying.
  • (2022-03-17) Jiwon Hong: automatically switched to 480p.
  • (2022-03-16) comatose kitty: Can confirm it does not work as of 3/16/22
  • (2022-03-16) Ryan M: Recently this extension has not been upscaling up to auto or a higher res after the ads end. It's just staying in 480p instead so it might need a bit of an update. I'd still rather watch the stream in 480 then swap the res myself than watch 1000 twitch adds so four stars it is.
  • (2022-03-16) Jigs 99: It Switched to 480p Automatically. Please Fix it. I will donate.
  • (2022-03-15) 저능아: 최근 이게 뭔가를 건들인건지 재생을 멈춰도 자동으로 재생이되고 화질설정도 자기맘대로 바뀌게 바뀜 불편해짐
  • (2022-03-13) David S: Locks the stream to 480p while blocking the ads, which is fine, but lately it doesn't switch back to high quality once it's done blocking the ads. Can we get a fix for this?
  • (2022-03-13) Sascha Dormagen: Funktioniert wie es soll. :-)
  • (2022-03-12) Alex Palmy: works but, when an ad is launched, the quality of the stream decreases (480p), impossible to be in 1080p, and it is since the last update
  • (2022-03-11) Simon Wayne: Video Ad-Block, for Twitch is not working anymore, the devs dropped the project so no more update in the future... we have to wait for a new ad blocker sadly....
  • (2022-03-11) Majax: Why is the developer not communicating the reason for suddenly lowering the quality to 480, when this hasn't been the case for over a year? Hopefully more people step up and work on a different Twitch adblocker.
  • (2022-03-10) Rheydner Junior: Maravilhosa, perfeita e incrível.
  • (2022-03-10) steven weeb: just got an ad right now ???? bug or did they patch it and u have to find a fix ?
  • (2022-03-08) Alberto Mariano da Silva Bittencourt: Worked perfectly until about a month ago. Now, it "locks" streams to 480p while blocking ads, which (thanks to the absurd ammount of ads Twitch pushes inito you) makes streams run on 480p for minutes. Please, change it back to the way it was before.
  • (2022-03-08) Julian Herbert: It works, but now reduces your stream quality to 480p max. I don't know why whoever changed it, but change it back. It used to allow max quality 1080p streaming.
  • (2022-03-07) Dat byeol: 트위치 재생바가 자동으로 풀려서 정지가 안되고 계속 자동재생이 됩니다 오류 수정 부탁드립니다 엄청 불편해요..
  • (2022-03-07) Jordan Maccoy: The extension works but everytime twitch tries to run ads it locks the quality to 480p and because twitch tries a million times to run ads it keeps me from being able to watch in a good quality for like 5 mins every couple hours.
  • (2022-03-07) Keith Kim: works great on chrome, thanks. Any chance you can make an android version to avoid ads on phones? Would be awesome if you could.
  • (2022-03-07) William Luu: This has worked for me for a couple months but now it doesn't even work, i tried uninstalling then installing it again but it doesn't seem to help, anyone else or just me?
  • (2022-03-03) Carter C: Twitch can detect this extension now
  • (2022-03-03) krismanN: blocks ads but i have permanent buffering and quality dropping of stream
  • (2022-03-01) James Alphasnake13: The extension seems to no longer be working as of 3/1/2022. Ads are playing when streams are opened
  • (2022-03-01) fraai: 480p only recently fix if possible ill wait till theres one that fixes it
  • (2022-02-27) goico: DOES NOT WORK ANY MORE PLS FIX
  • (2022-02-26) John: Looks like Twitch has updated their player as this no longer works. You get a constant loading screen until you disable the extension then it works. Hopefully you can update this so it works again. Edit: 2/23/22 Streams that are paused will unpause when changing tabs. Edit: 2/26/22 Streams seem to stay paused now when changing tabs.
  • (2022-02-26) Nicholas Braendle: I'm glad I found a solution to blocking the ads. The only thing is that its been messing with my video quality dropping it back to 480p. Other than that, I think it works well. Also it doesn't exactly work with embeds on other websites but I don't know how much that can be helped. Thanks for the extension!
  • (2022-02-26) HotFlakesTom: Unfortunately hasn't been working for a few weeks and the update hasn't done anything. However, it was an incredibly good extension.
  • (2022-02-26) Lam Double: Seems it will cause the stream stop(Loading appear) when block the ads sometimes. Then require to pause and play the stream to fix. But still great as don't need to wait for ads finish to play anymore.
  • (2022-02-26) M: not working 26/02/2022
  • (2022-02-26) 요들요들: 어제부터 광고차단중인 1분정도동안 화질이 480에 고정되는 증상이 나타남 광고 차단후 수동으로 화질을 올려줘야함
  • (2022-02-25) Classyy Bills: bruh what happened to this adblocker?? i swear it never used to go into 480p when blocking ads it would just say at the top left blocking ads and play this video normally @ 1080p. why is it starting to go into 480p when blocking ads?
  • (2022-02-25) Steeve Barazzutti: fonctionne pas du tout , ne bloque rien du tout
  • (2022-02-25) Moth Christ: Very good worked exactly as mentioned
  • (2022-02-24) Craig Bell: Hey whenever I switch tabs if i pause it ends up unpausing. A reddit thread it was due to this and to update but im up to date so is there anything I could change within the extension im missing?
  • (2022-02-23) WantedDuck125: I see that the extextion was updated today (Feb 22). Streams are stuck in 480p.
  • (2022-02-23) Dilson Novais: Primeiro dia usando hoje e tá ok, 100% funcionando
  • (2022-02-20) Rober: 20/2/2022 funciona, da gusto por que lo de la publicidad de Twitch ya es abusivo, gracias.
  • (2022-02-19) Bianca Helena: Funcionou, assisti a live sem nenhum anuncio
  • (2022-02-15) Bradley McCabe: This is the best blocker for ads on Twitch, but Twitch has become aware that it exists and started lowering the Quality to 360p or 480p on the video player if you have this running, you need to fix that ASAP.
  • (2022-02-13) Google Sync: It delivers what it promises
  • (2022-02-13) Pepijn Bakker: It worked, until it didn't. It's a cat an mouse game.

Latest issues

  • (2022-03-18, v:5.3.3) m j: Twitch changing quality to 480p well after ad's have been blocked.
    Best way to "fix" this is by setting the twitch player to Auto quality, but still sometimes the player will automatically set its self to 480p. If I manually set it to the highest quality it sets it back every 3-5 minutes. I assume this is Twitch detecting the ad blocker or something.
  • (2022-03-14, v:5.3.3) Julius Gustav: Doesn't work anymore
    Since like a week i get ads again. If theres a fix to this i would appreciate any suggestions. I use the latest version 5.3.3.
  • (2022-03-14, v:5.3.3) Peterle Ki: quality
    Hey whenever it blocks add it changes the quality to 480p, are you able to fix this?
  • (2022-03-13, v:5.3.3) David S: Quality not reverting after ads
    It the stream to 480p while blocking the ads, which is fine, but for the last few weeks it doesn't switch back to high quality once it's done blocking the ads. So it stays stuck on 480p. Using microsoft edge. Any fixes, please? Thanks!
  • (2022-03-10, v:5.3.3) Adam Clouthier: Quality not setting itself back to original sometimes
    The addon correctly changes to 480p to avoid the ads, but then fails to switch back to what the resolution was before the ad.
  • (2022-03-09, v:5.3.3) The New House Technology Services: Background tabs stop playing
    Thank you for this extension! It's so valuable when doing demonstrations of Twitch and teaching people about it. It also helps avoid those awful horror themed ads that scream, etc. When I am playing a music stream and do work in another tab, the stream seems to stop and start periodically, or sometimes will stop entirely until I switch back to it. Also, if a channel raids to another channel, a background tab won't follow the raid. Which is a great feature, and something sleeping people have been begging Twitch for, but I'd love to be able to turn that on and off, because when I'm not sleeping, I want to follow the raid train. Thanks!
  • (2022-03-01, v:5.3.2) C Warren: Video quality screen pop up
    I assume Twitch made more changes to their coding. Your extension still does block ads just fine, but now it constantly pops up the video quality setting window with the resolution. Can't get it to go away.
  • (2022-03-01, v:5.3.2) MrGForce: forced 480p adblocker punishment from twitch
    recently twitch has been forcing 480p stream quality as a response to detecting ads being blocked. I don't know if you are aware currently, or if you are trying amend this issue. hope to hear about it soon.

  • (2022-02-23, v:5.3.1) RHAYNE: stream pause play & ads
    cant pause a twitch stream and click off or minimize/swap tabs without it auto playing/unpausing. its caused by this extension similar issue seems an ad or two may slip through. otherwise good.

  • (2022-01-14, v:5.2.3) ordjk: Pause
    Basically whenever I click on a new stream , I get a 1-3 second pause before it loads. I have a feeling this is a problem of the extension because if I click on a new stream then I immediately pause and play it ; it plays straight away

  • (2021-12-29, v:5.2.3) Dylan A: Question about how it works
    Hello, does this extension trick twitch into thinking that you are watching the ads? Or does it work differently?
  • (2021-12-08, v:5.2.3) Vekzii: Player not automatically going into 480p when it's "blocking ads"
    So basically, when watching a twitch stream, when it plays ads, the "blockings ads" symbol in the top left comes up. However, it doesn't switch into 480p, and instead it just starts buffering and I need to pause/unpause in order to stop the buffer, but doing that scuffs the stream and will sometimes keep pausing/unpausing or goes back in time 30~ seconds. I always watch stream in "Source" and I have all other ad blockers disabled.
  • (2021-11-30, v:5.2.3) CL Slingshot: Black loading screen

  • (2021-11-15, v:5.2.2) Zombiexm: Is it normal for all windows of twitch to reload?
    Everytime I open a new tab of twitch, every tab of twitch reloads, and anyone im focused on gets stuck in a reload loop. Only way to stop it is to focus on a non twitch tab until the stream loads.

  • (2021-11-07, v:5.2.2) Vekzii: Buffering during the Ad and streams take much longer to load streams
    Basically, whenever the ad happens and it says "Blocking ads" etc, it buffers the stream, and the only way to make it stop is to pause and unpause which causes some weird bugs with it going back in time and it takes like 15 seconds for it to get back to the actual stream. Also, I noticed that it takes much more time to load streams using the extension, well over 2x the normal time it takes. Are there any known fixes for these or any troubleshooting I can do?
  • (2021-10-25, v:5.2.1) Sub: Squadstreams not working properly
    When I watch squadstreams, it shows the same stream on all shown streams even tho the streaminfo is correct for every stream in the squad. Refreshing doesnt help it, only disabling this addon makes it work normally again.
  • (2021-10-19, v:5.2.0) billyhatcher643: eEror code 1000 even when i disable ublock
    the stupid stream box still shows error code 1000 even if i have the ublock origin adblocker disabled i think twitch blocked this addon from blocking their ads.

    With this Extension , if you open a twitch stream in a new tab (Right click on Twitch in Favorite and Open in New Tab) , Twitch site has a black screen. The only way to solve the issue is to refresh and never open a stream 'in a new tab'. Also no other Extension is installed on Chrome
  • (2021-09-21, v:5.1.0) DemonOfMirkwood: Streams autoplay when you pause and go to another tab
    Currently while this addon is enabled when I pause a stream and switch a tab stream will start playing after like 1 sec. When I disable the addon it doesnt happen or If I stay in the paused stream for 6-7 sec before switching to another tab it doesnt happen. This problem just started appearing and was fine before. Other addons I use that affect twitch are: bttv ffz ublock volume master.
  • (2021-09-04, v:5.0.1) Zach Whiteis: Streams crashing when running ads
    I'm not certain exactly what conditions are causing the stream to crash but most streams I try to watch crash whenever they try to run an ad. I mainly watch MoonMoon and never have any crashes through the whole stream (I am subbed so no ads) but then if I tune into Sneaky the stream won't crash when he's in a League match but then crashes repeatedly until he gets back into a game so I'm guessing it's when ads are running. Just now I was trying to watch ESL_CSGO and it would crash 5 seconds into the stream. Once I disabled this adblocker it stopped crashing but of course the ads started again. I can't find anyone else with this issue but I started probably about a week or so ago I think.

  • (2021-06-30, v:4.4) Stevie G.: It doesn't seem to work anymore for the past 24 hours. :(
    Nothing's changed (updated, deleted, or changed) on my end. Extension still enabled with everything set. Now pre-roll ads are kicking in (and I don't usually watch long enough to get ads mid-stream). I've even disabled all other extensions and the pre-rolls still kick in on each stream load. I'm sad now. :(

  • (2021-05-18, v:2.4) Atthorpe: Switching quality between 1080p and 480p
    Hi, sorry to bother but I was curious if it would be possible to maybe add into the extension settings an option to pick the guaranteed quality that it swaps to during ads, for example when im watching a stream with a really bad connection and im watching at 480p and then when the "ads" start the stream changes to 1080p 60fps and my internet cant handle it and it just buffers the entire time until ad is over.. (basically the same experience as having the ads bcuz it is disrupting the viewing experience) all was working good before bcuz it was only doing 480p ads but I think this most recent update added up to 1080p and its automatically defaulting to the highest. I understand if this is not possible but I thought I would atleast ask, Thank you
  • (2021-05-10, v:2.3) Aleksandar: New permissions requested
    Extension automatically disabled due to new permissions requested to a new url. Could this be explained?
