Simple Twitch Adblocker

An extension to block Twitch ads. Done the simplest possible way to avoid Twitch countermeasures. Ads will be automatically muted and the stream will continue playing over them (in lower resolution due to Twitch limitations).

Simple Twitch Adblocker - A Firefox Extension for Blocking Twitch Ads

Simple Twitch Adblocker is a Firefox extension that blocks Twitch video ads in a smart way. Utilizing unique technology, it automatically detects and hides Twitch ads. It plays the stream at a lower quality in order to keep the stream going even during ad breaks. Additionally, the feature of auto-mute ensures that even if the backup stream fails, no advertise disturbance is caused. This extension makes it difficult for Twitch to differentiate between its use and manual audio muting.

Constantly says mini player not found and just mutes the ads which is maybe ok for some but I would just rather it didn't so I know when a streamer in another tab has gone to ad not fallen off/gone dead air.
