- (2025-03-26) PossessWithin: Tested in March 2025, it does not work anymore unfortunately. ERROR #2000
- (2025-03-24) Dixie Normus: Trash - just throws error #2000 every 45 seconds - refresh the page, re-open the entire window. Same trash Uninstalled
- (2025-03-08) Danny Blake: No longer works
- (2025-03-06) Wilbert Cassidy: it works , but very glitchy you will have to refresh your twitch tab alot to bypass the screen glitches. its way better than getting 3 minute ads every 30 seconds so yeah... (Update) -March 6th doesn't work anymore needs a fix
- (2025-02-23) BBQ: Works better than 99% of "Twitch Adblock" extensions out there, I notice that the ones that usually work are the one without "Twitch" in their title, that's crazy
- (2025-02-23) BBQ: Works better than 99% of "Twitch Adblock" extensions out there, I notice that the ones that usually work are the one without "Twitch" in their title, that's crazy
- (2025-02-05) Neven Mazić: I just had an ad on a Twitch stream which means this extension no longer works.
- (2025-02-03) Liam: Useless trash that makes the ads even worse: can't play the ads, can watch the actual stream
- (2025-01-31) GOHI.: if you fix the app every week, will be the best one. but at the moment doesnt work.
- (2025-01-29) Blanket: Doesn't work. Twich won, there's no way to block their ads. this is the 4th twitch specific ad blocker i've tried and they all are trash. im done wasting my time.
- (2024-11-13) Joey Bisson: Sure, it buffers from time to time, but I'd rather that than stare at an animated purple wall for three minutes against my will. So many other adblockers are far worse or don't work at all. If this ever gets fixed, it'll be amazing.
- (2024-10-16) Danny Cupper: Does not work
- (2024-10-16) Riky X: Does not work. Vieo keep buffering and buffering every 10 second even when ads are not playing. it used to work in the past.
- (2024-10-12) Игорь Орлов: don't worked
- (2024-09-18) Fabrizio Vitello: On 2024/09/17, Twitch has changed (again, as it does every year around this time) the systems for sending ADs. Unfortunately, this time there’s a twist: with an addon enabled, the stream remains stuck on a black screen! I suppose that, once again, we’ll have to wait about a month, so patience and support!
- (2024-09-09) Mavyn: I am hoping there will be an update for this as twitch ads still pop up. I would donate if this worked :)
- (2024-09-02) Lea Shadav: Doesn't really work...still get the preroll ads at the start of a stream and then 90% of the time when an ad starts the stream either lags out or crashes and I have to reload the page making this unfortunately useless...I mean 10% of the time it does work, so that's why I'm giving it 2 stars. Hopefully they will update this and get it up and working correctly again.
- (2024-08-18) MM Miller: Doesn't work anymore. Pre-roll ads show constantly. Also frequently causes streams to buffer & pause until you refresh the page, which then forces more ads. 8/18/2024 - Prerolls still show the majority of the time. Ad's start looping after a period of time if the chrome tab is left in the background (tabbed out)
- (2024-08-18) John: It works great!
- (2024-07-17) pixel grief: it kind of works but its better than the other ones
- (2024-07-04) Antti: Doesn't work anymore, doesn't disable either. After about a minute the player hangs and doesn't resume until refresh, a new skipped ad and repeat. Whitelisting channel literally doesn't work, only disabling the whole extension.
- (2024-06-14) Steven Stretton: Used to work really well, however I find now that it will block the ads, but the stream will freeze or buffer for long periods of time. Hope they can release a new working version soon!
- (2024-06-11) Ozz “OzzFreak” Freak: 06/11/2024 doesn't seem to work
- (2024-05-31) Rodrigo MS: Outdated recently but when fixed the best of the best
- (2024-05-15) Matt Diomede: Does seem to work decently well. Ads will sometimes start then 5 seconds later they will close and return to the stream. I was having problems with my streams just freezing every 10 mins or so and having to pause/resume them to return to watching. I saw a review and someone said to disable ublock origin so I disabled it on twitch and now I'm not having the freezing issue. Working the best it has in weeks.
- (2024-05-11) Alejandro “Alec” Parjus: Doesn't work as of today, right now
- (2024-05-01) James: Just added it to Chrome, tested it, immediately got an ad. Useless.
- (2024-04-30) J L: This extension does work, but as previous reviews say it does brick your twitch at random points during the stream.
- (2024-04-29) jeffrey wolff: works for me.. disable u block origin
- (2024-04-27) Parrot Bayou (Tech Mech): seems to have been abandoned as recently it was 50/50 whether it would work, and now it just bricks twitch completely with the exception of the stream being visible
- (2024-04-27) thegees: completely bricks my twitch
- (2024-04-26) Kurogane 黒鉄Yuuji 優二: was working great until recently, now not only doesn't block ads, also making twitch bug out and blocking login and chat.
- (2024-04-26) Ryan Devlin: blocking ads currently, but chat doesn't show up and buttons on the profile page is missing for the stream you watch.
- (2024-04-25) Katie Willems: thank you 🙏 april'24 edit: it's currently preventing twitch from loading all elements properly. hopefully can be fixed.
- (2024-04-25) L. R: Doesn't work
- (2024-04-17) Armando Marino: It's broken, it doesn't load chat properly and I'm still geting ads
- (2024-04-12) Anthony Sanchez: No ads but it's currently not letting twitch load properly, not letting people use chat
- (2024-04-12) Fєиixรz: its making twitch not load properly
- (2024-04-09) Avi Wasserman: I've been using it for some time now and I can't recall seeing an ad
- (2024-03-24) Hatch tvHTHtv: Does NOT work on Brave. Twitch must have ran an update and now all the adblockers are failing to block any ads.
