Extension is not dead yet, just navigate to your extensions and press 'Keep extension', then re-enable it when it says chrome recommends to uninstall, and you're done. Simple bypass until twitch breaks the extension.

Спасибо вонючему гуглу. Было бы действительно здорово, если бы вы заботились о моей безопасности, а не о том, что я не хочу смотреть рекламу и вы всеми силами стараетесь этому помешать.
