User reviews
Stream Cleaner is widely praised for effectively blocking Twitch ads and improving the viewing experience with minimal resource usage. Users appreciate that it often succeeds where other blockers fail and that it integrates well with other extensions. However, several reviews mention that Twitch updates sometimes break its functionality, causing buffering, ads to play, or interface issues like unresponsive controls. While excellent for Twitch streams, it does not fully block ads on other web pages. Overall, it is considered one of the best Twitch ad blockers despite occasional update-related shortcomings.
Pros
- Effectively blocks Twitch ads, including some that other blockers miss.
- Works well with other extensions and uses few system resources.
- Notices and informs users when an ad is blocked.
- Generally reliable and one of the best Twitch ad blockers available.
- Simple and effective in improving stream experience on Twitch.
Cons
- Sometimes stops functioning after Twitch updates, leading to buffering or ads slipping through.
- May cause streams to lag until the extension is disabled.
- At times, interface elements like volume and fullscreen buttons become unresponsive after use.
- Does not block sponsored ads on web pages outside Twitch as comprehensively as some other blockers.
- Occasionally gets caught in a blocking loop showing an adblocking screen repeatedly.

Worked for a long time when nothing else did, but Twitch seems to have gotten around it again recently.

Goes in a blocking loop and shows the purple adblocking screen in a loop and never goes back to stream!
