Here we have explained some of the troubleshooting methods that worked for multiple users to fix the uBlock Origin issue without having a hassle.
Make Use Of A VPN
With a VPN, you can completely avoid Twitch advertising. If you go with this method, you won’t even need to utilize uBlock Origin on Twitch.
Configure your VPN to a country where Twitch does not presently show advertisements. We set our VPN location to Hungary in our testing and haven’t seen any advertising in days.
Other nations to consider are Russia, Ukraine, Serbia, and Costa Rica. Wait a few moments to check if any adverts appear. If that’s the case, try a different nation.
The best VPNs to use right now are NordVPN or PIA VPN, which is Reddit’s preference. You’ll not only avoid adverts on Twitch, but you’ll also benefit from additional VPN features like masking your internet behaviour from your ISP.
Enable Video Ad Blocker For Twitch
- Check out the newest Twitch HLS AdBlock release on GitHub and download it.
- Unzip the downloaded file to a directory and make a note of the location since you’ll need it later.
- Open Google Chrome and put the following into the address bar. Enter the code – chrome:/extensions/.
- Make sure Developer Mode is turned on.
- Select the Load Unpacked from the drop-down menu.
- Select the Extension folder within the Twitch HLS AdBlock folder from the extracted directory.
Use the Chrome Extension
- When The Purple Screen Appear, How To Auto-Reload The Twitch Player
- If you don’t already have it, install the FFZ (FrankerFaceZ) chrome extension.
- If you don’t already have it, install the Tampermonkey Chrome plugin.
- Copy the page’s contents from this URL (click CTRL+A to select all, then CTRL+C to copy).
- To create a new script, click the Tampermonkey extension icon and select Create a new script.
- If you don’t already have it, install the FFZ (FrankerFaceZ) chrome extension.
- Copy the page’s contents from this URL (click CTRL+A to select all, then CTRL+C to copy).
- To create a new script, click the Tampermonkey extension icon and select Create a new script.
The method is relatively quick, and the script should not have a significant performance impact since it is simple and lightweight. You may easily deactivate the script or remove Tampermonkey if you have any issues.
Because the audio seems to reset, you may go to FFZ settings and activate the audio compressor by default if it appears to be below.
Use the Twitch. Tv Extension’s Alternate Player
This update gets rid of the purple screen that many users experience from time to time. It involves a Twitch. TV alternative player Chrome plugin that replaces the default Twitch player with a bespoke one. One significant downside is that the feed will be somewhat delayed (around 30 seconds).
Because the custom/alternate player does not inject advertisements, it will also solve your Twitch ad issue. After installing the extension, a new toggle/button will appear in the top-right area of Twitch broadcasts. By right-clicking on it, you may set the alternative player as the default. Click the channel name on the upper left to quit the alternative player and return to the normal Twitch player.
View the VOD
You can watch the VOD if you don’t mind the talk, which may be a little slow, and you want the opportunity to fast forward and rewind (Video On Demand). If there is any VOD pre-roll or mid-roll advertising, uBlock will block them.
Even if the stream you wish to watch is now in progress, the VOD is still being created and maybe played instead. To access the Twitch VOD, go to the player’s bottom and click on the streamer’s symbol. Then go to the Videos page and choose the most recent VOD.
Use a Different Approach
Other than Twitch, there are several other popular gaming live-streaming sites that you may utilize. YouTube Gaming and Facebook Gaming are the most popular, and your uBlock extension should still operate and block all adverts.
