Blocks video ads on Twitch.tv using proven stream-level ad blocking. Watch Twitch without pre-roll and mid-roll video interruptions. Twitch AdBlock is a lightweight, privacy-focused Chrome extension that blocks video ads on Twitch.tv before they reach the player. Instead of hiding banners after they appear, it works at the stream level by intercepting Twitch's video pipeline early — helping you enjoy live streams with fewer forced ad breaks. Why users choose Twitch AdBlock • Blocks pre-roll and mid-roll video ads on Twitch live streams • Privacy-first design — no account required, no analytics, no data sent to the developer • Stores only one local setting: whether ad blocking is enabled • Simple toolbar popup with an on/off toggle • Open source and fully auditable on GitHub • No remote code — all logic is bundled inside the extension Built for privacy and security Twitch AdBlock is designed with a minimal footprint. It does not collect personal information, browsing history, or viewing habits. The only data stored on your device is your enable/disable preference, saved locally through Chrome's storage API. Permissions are limited to what is required for core functionality: running on Twitch pages, saving your toggle setting, and reloading open Twitch tabs when you change that setting. How it works Twitch delivers video through background workers and HLS stream playlists. Twitch AdBlock injects at document start and applies proven stream-level ad-blocking logic to detect ad segments and request clean stream variants when needed — before ads are rendered in the player. Easy to control Click the extension icon to turn ad blocking on or off at any time. When you change the setting, open Twitch tabs reload automatically so the new state takes effect immediately. Compatibility note Do not use this extension together with other Twitch-specific worker-level ad blockers (such as AdGuard Extra or duplicate VAFT userscripts). Running multiple solutions that hook the same browser APIs can cause playback issues.
