Comment on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away."
Occultist0178@lemmy.world 6 hours agoOf course it does, I have never seen an ad in Twitch, thus is it course in Firefox, don’t know how it works in Chrome with the messed up adblock system 🤷

Sorry but that’s just wrong. Ads on Twitch are forced in a way that can’t be easily bypassed locally. That’s why stuff like Twitch AdSolutions exists. The common workaround is using a proxy server in countries that don’t get ads, maybe you live in one of those.

Oh it seems that you are right, I didn’t know that, I thought it was just blocked through ublock. Thanks for your comment

No worries

ublock can too block twitch ads, because it can run adsolutions itself. it’s even on that page you linked.

Yeah that’s true but it’s really just a method to run a more complex userscript, which isn’t really comparable to the element blocking rules that uBlock normally handles.

Thank you. I just stopped using that website overall, because of all the ads thrown down my throat.
