Purple Ads Blocker - An Effective Adblocker for Twitch.tv

The 'Purple Ads Blocker' is an exceptional Chrome Extension, specifically designed for Twitch.tv. It functions as a video ad-blocker that utilizes an external proxy from an advertisement-free country. This involves only video requests being sent through this proxy, thereby ensuring a complete, ad-free stream with full quality. Notably, this extension doesn't gather or store your private data, making it highly secure. However, its efficiency may vary based on the user's geographical location and it doesn't work with Alternate Player for Twitch.
