Head here.Twitch Adblock blocks ads on Twitch by switching to an ad-free version of the stream at 480p during the ad-time and automatically switches back to the original video quality after the ad-time is over. In no time, our stories got picked up by the likes of Forbes, Foxnews, Gizmodo, TechCrunch, Engadget, The Verge, Macrumors, and many others. PiunikaWeb started as purely an investigative tech journalism website with main focus on ‘breaking’ or ‘exclusive’ news. We will update this story as events unfold.Ġ6:28 pm (IST): A user has suggested those affected to try ‘Twitch AdBlock’ extension on Firefox which is reportedly still working. The instructions for installing browser scripts are as follows: Source (Click/tap to expand) On the following GitHub page, there are multiple options so choose the one that best suits you: It hides ads.Īlternatively, you can install a web browser script that fulfills the same goal. I use ‘alternate twitch player’ browser extension. However, there are a couple of potential workarounds that reportedly help resolve the issue (functional at the time of writing this story, but this may change in the future).įirst, there is a web browser extension called ‘Alternate Twitch Player’ that reportedly effectively hides the ads: But this could cause the opposite effect due to users leaving the platform because of the ads. So, it looks like the Twitch team is looking for more ad revenue to fund improvements in creator earnings. I’ve noticed my adblocker stopped working after getting the email about the Twitch ad revenue split increase. Some users report that the problem started from the arrival of an email about a revenue split increase for Twitch creators. Possible reason for the problem, potential workarounds I switched to it after my old blocker cause issues even with Twitch whitelisted. I use Adguard, but have twitch whitelisted so I have no idea if it will block ads. I personally don’t mind the pre-rolls, but I will leave when someone uses a midroll. I know about a year ago there where issues even if you had Twitch whitelisted. I think Twitch actively tries to defeat the adblockers. Can anyone give any insight about this? It just started happening to me last night. The ad is blocked, but twitch basically puts up a screen over the broadcast telling you its running ads lol. For whatever reason, my ad blockers Ive used before dont seem to work. I use the new Edge browser on Windows 10.

However, Twitch users noticed that ad blocking is no longer available on the platform as many ad blockers were ‘patched’ by the company. They prefer to support their favorite content creators through other ways (such as direct donations and subscriptions). Many Twitch users often use ad blockers to avoid the annoying ads. This means that ads will appear during streams or when navigating through the UI. Like other video platforms, Twitch uses ads as one of its funding methods. It is the favorite platform for millions of gamers to watch gameplay streaming or be in direct contact with their favorite content creators. Twitch is one of the most used streaming platforms in the world. Original story (published on August 19, 2022) follows: New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
