Users can contribute via the GitHub repository by providing proxies or helping with development.

User Reviews

Reviews show it’s hit-or-miss: some users experience effective, ad-free Twitch playback when it works and can coexist with other blockers, but reliability is often poor, it can crash or freeze streams, conflicts with uBlock complicate usage, and ad blocking is incomplete (not all ads or prerolls are blocked).

Pros

When it works, it blocks Twitch ads effectively, delivering an ad-free experience.
Can run alongside other blockers like uBlock and Twitch 5 player for some users.
Some users report long ad-free periods (over a year) after installing.

Cons

Reliability is inconsistent; many users report it not working or stopping to work after changes.
Causes crashes, freezes, or errors (page crashes, infinite reloads, #2000 error) when ads play.
Conflicts with uBlock; disabling uBlock on Twitch may be necessary to get it to work, which reduces blocker efficacy.
Does not block all ads; partial blocking (preroll ads not blocked; automated ads blocked only) and sometimes only blocks some ads.
In some cases it turns ads into network errors or otherwise degrades the stream.

Recent reviews

unfortunately, did not work for me, even when fully disabling ublock origin and all other twitch extensions, only shows error #2000 and reloading doesn't change that

Does not work. will not block ads because it won't let the stream play.

Is Purple Ads Blocker for Twitch Safe?

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
