I don’t understand how anyone can use the Internet without ublock. I have before, and am about to again, change fuel stations due to them installing those stupid ad playing pumps.

Yeah but uBlock can’t or at least doesn’t block Twitch ads, so that doesn’t really apply here.

Of course it does, I have never seen an ad in Twitch, thus is it course in Firefox, don’t know how it works in Chrome with the messed up adblock system 🤷

Sorry but that’s just wrong. Ads on Twitch are forced in a way that can’t be easily bypassed locally. That’s why stuff like Twitch AdSolutions exists. The common workaround is using a proxy server in countries that don’t get ads, maybe you live in one of those.

Oh it seems that you are right, I didn’t know that, I thought it was just blocked through ublock. Thanks for your comment

No worries

ublock can too block twitch ads, because it can run adsolutions itself. it’s even on that page you linked.
Show threadDamarusFeb 27
Yeah that’s true but it’s really just a method to run a more complex userscript, which isn’t really comparable to the element blocking rules that uBlock normally handles.

Thank you. I just stopped using that website overall, because of all the ads thrown down my throat.

I used to support testing the adblock solutions from Pixeltris some years ago when Twitch actively starting fighting adblockers. It turned out the only reliable way is to use a proxy or VPN of a country that doesnt serve ads via amazons ad system. Mostly small countries where it’s not worth place advertisments. I am using eithe czech, polish or Luxembourg IPs and usually dont get any ads this way anymore as there are no corporstions using their af service.
