Twitch Adblock is a privacy-conscious Chrome extension designed to block ads on Twitch.tv without using proxies, VPNs, or third-party scripts. It seamlessly switches your Twitch stream to an ad-free 480p version during advertisements and automatically returns to your original video quality once ads end. The entire process occurs locally on your device, ensuring no personal data is collected or shared. The extension is open-source, fostering transparency, and it remains free of donation or referral links.

For optimal ad blocking performance, it is recommended to use Twitch Adblock alongside UBlock Origin. This extension is ideal for Twitch users seeking an uninterrupted, ad-free viewing experience while maintaining online privacy and security.

However, many users report that it currently no longer works due to Twitch's aggressive anti-adblock updates, replacing ads with commercial break screens and causing stream interruptions.

Doesn't work like it's supposed to anymore. The ad is replaced with the "Commercial break in progress" screen now instead of the 480p version of the stream.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Twitch Adblock requires very minimum permissions.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.
