Twitch has gotten insufferable with ads lately. Sometimes I’m getting 3mins straight of ads.
To add insult to injury, twitch is buggy as hell and I often need to refresh and usually it loads new ads.
I used to have a special config in ublock specifically for twitch but that doesn’t seem to work anymore.
Any tips?
Streamlink + mpv
uBlock Origin with Firefox
SafeTwitch is an alternative web client, that removes ads and a bunch of other BS
On Android you can use the Xtra app
mpv twitchurlIssue for me with MPV is that it crashes whenever, I’m trying to put an URL in it.
Upload the error log?
EDIT:
Apparently I missed the “YT-DL”. Got it now and it works, apologies.
I use uBlock but every now and then Twitch ads start slipping through, They normally go back to being blocked with the next uBlock update.
It’s a real cat and mouse game.
The ad blocking on desktop doesn’t really work very well in my experience (long loading times, shows ads anyway, …). What has improved the experience for me tremendously is using an extension that automatically mutes ads.
You could try Grayjay. I haven’t tried watching Twitch through it and that source is in beta, but the app is great overall
If somehow none of anyone else’s suggestions work for you, I’ve found success with PurpleTV, which comes as an extension if on PC or app if on android
Weirdly ublock and firefox is enough for me to not see twitch ads. Friends of mine report seeing ads as well on twitch with the same config. I really don‘t know what it is since i don‘t have anything fancy like a pihole or similar
