It works fine for me, but I mostly watch one streamer who only streams on Twitch. My ad blocker blocks their stupid ads on stuff I periodically check out that I'm not subbed to (e.g. MP events hosted by someone else), so it's generally a good experience.
However, the front page is absolute cancer, and it's why I don't watch many other streams. I just want my steamer and related content, and a few random favorited streamers from other games I very occasionally watch. I feel a little bad about the ad blocker, but that's because there's no in-between AFAIK where I can sub to 1-2 channels and still get no ads on the very rare occasions I'll watch something else (less than once/month).
What ad blocker?
uBlock Origin on Firefox.
I have ublock, out of the box it does not impact twitch ads in any way.
Do you have special add ons or filters?
I think just EasyList, not sure, it has been a long time since I set it up. Here's my config though:
My custom rules are pretty barebones, but here's that as well (I'm pretty sure neither is related to Twitch):
Let me know if there's a better way for me to help.
Ill be trying these when I get home, thank you!
Np! Feel free to reach out if you have issues and I can to a little more digging.
I do this with 1 streamer, too. I sub with prime though.
Ive seen the odd stream of a related streamer but normally just catch vods on youtube for anyone related.
Who is your one streamer out of interest?
Mines paymoneywubby.
Ayyy. I very occasionally watch the live stream I usually just catch him on paymoneywubby stream archive on YouTube.
