I just checked out Twitch again after a while and WOW has that site gotten shitty. But I'm trying to watch someone and really don't want ads every few minutes. Instead of paying Bezos to remove half the ads, how can I configure my uBlock Origin to block them all for free?

So, the solution i use is relativly simple. I mainly use the Adguard Adblocker, as i see that as one of the best adblockers you can get. Since Twitch uses some weird methods to load ads, you normally see them on every Adblocker. Now, the Adguard Team came up with some additional addon called Adguard Extra. Dont really know what it does, but seems like it detects ads on another way. Both installed, you dont get any ads anymore on Twitch.

Both Extensions are of course open-source and can be viewed on GitHub. https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardExtra
