## Review summary

The add-on is praised by some for blocking Twitch ads, but effectiveness is inconsistent. It often lowers stream quality to 480p (sometimes 640x480), can degrade audio, and may interrupt playback. Many users report it doesn’t work at all. It also demands broad permissions and runs scripts across pages, and may require frequent page refreshes to suppress ads. Overall, strong ad-blocking potential is tempered by reliability and quality drawbacks.

### Pros

- Blocks Twitch ads for some users, enabling ad-free viewing.
- Users express gratitude and relief when it works.
- Some users report actually getting ad-free streams when it functions.

### Cons

- Significantly reduces stream quality to 480p (often 480p or 640x480).
- Degrades audio quality or blocks the stream during ads (audio/video quality bricks).
- Not reliable; many users report it doesn’t work or only works sometimes.
- Requires broad permissions (access data for all websites) and runs a script on every page, raising privacy concerns.
- Requires refreshing the page to suppress ads and has ad-detection issues (could play loud ads or break playback).
