Hide unwanted streams, games, categories, channels and tags on: twitch.tv
Important Note: This is a best-effort approach to dealing with Twitch's different website views and has always been an arms race. It's not perfect and it will never be. If you expect the extension to always work flawlessly, don't even bother installing it. Know and understand the limits.

Note about breaking changes on twitch.tv
Twitch is infamous for changing their website without further notice, which may break this extension over night. Twitch also serves different canary builds (previews of potential future versions) to selected/random users for up to 4 weeks, which most likely break parts of the extension. If you notice pages no longer working properly, disable the extension, report the issue¹ and wait for an update. Note that updates may take a few days to be approved on the corresponding browser stores.

- Unfortunately this is really bad. It works, sure. But it slows down Twitch stream browsing extremely. And makes Edge use a crazy amount of CPU while browsing streams.
- Serhii
- It barely works, will allow you to block some channels in raw, but then will open stream because button doesn't work for some reason, and it covers stream preview, you have space around text for that, or somewhere else, but not preview :/
- Peter
- Has it stopped working ? My unwanted channels are popping up again.
- Daniel
- Doesn't work at all.
- Stefan
- Works and can be used but the description to use a uppercased i which is getting checked by the directory.js javascript for regular expressions is bad.
- Wolfgang
- Funktioniert leider nicht. Kanäle in der Sperrliste werden weiterhin in "EMPFOHLENE KANÄLE" angezeigt.
- Jens
- Vielen lieben dank für diese tolle app! Thanks for this wonderful app, thank you! This make me Happy, now i can block what i want xD
- Dami
- This add-on worked well the first month and now it just won't let me add other tags to block and when I add them manually they just don't block them.
- Daniel
- Die wohl mitunter wichtigste Twitch-Erweiterung die ein jeder Browser benötigt, einfach und perfekt! Besten Dank dafür.
