Twitch continues to deteriorate as a platform because what do you mean I can’t TAB OUT TO MY SECOND MONITOR DURING THE AD BREAK

I NEED TO FOCUS THE TAB AND THE WINDOW FOR THE AD TO PLAY???

    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

      ublock can too block twitch ads, because it can run adsolutions itself. it’s even on that page you linked.

        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.
