by Zaffira, 4 years agoI copy and paste the news about problem ads. You can find down on any video, with extension active, click to bell to read: "In September, Twitch started to fight ad blockers, including my extension. The extension uses special tricks to block ads. In turn, Twitch blocks every trick it seen. After that, I need a few days to find a new trick. Plus, you need to wait until the new version of the extension will be published in the store. Google and Microsoft require up to 7 days, Mozilla 1 day. All this time, you see ads in the expansion player.
The number of tricks is limited and at the moment Twitch has blocked almost everything. Therefore, in the next version of the extension, I will add a more reliable, but less effective way to hide ads. During the ads, playback may pause for a few seconds and you will see the message “Skipping ads”.
Unfortunately, Twitch rarely shows ads in my region, so I cannot test the ad hiding feature myself. I need volunteers to test the beta versions of the extension. They should: be able to think logically, often see ads in the extension, install extensions not from the store (I will give instructions), describe the test results in detail. If you want to help me with this tedious but important job, then in the player menu click “Send Feedback” and let me know. Thank you!"

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18731792, 16 days agoEs läuft wirklich 1A. Wirklich, super Erweiterung. Ich kann es wirklich empfehlen.
Die Frage die ich mir nur stelle, ob die Erweiterung Werblung blockiert bzw. im Hintergrund läuft (wenn Werbung kommt, dann ist das Bild auf 480p) und ob dann trotzdem die Werbung gezählt wird (weil dann da steht, das ADS versteckt wird. Also nicht geblockt)
Ansonsten Leute: DAS IST DIE ERWEITERUNG, DIE WIR BRAUCHEN !!!! - Rated 4 out of 5by Zumaks, 23 days ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by SioN, a month agoit does what it promises but i personally dont want my whole page to be replaced with a nearly full screen player.
i prefer to watch my streams in the standard normal player size, see all stream info and live channels that im following.
not to mention this extension forces you to use light mode, or at least you have to manually turn it on every time. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18778316, a month ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by LOLYOU, 2 months agoIt works but the Chat tab is full black and doesn't show anything, Channel points thing is non-existant, It's fine otherwise.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Wesmess, 2 months agoThe player is in need of an update. Hiding ads causes the stream to shrink and the stream frequently skips ahead a few seconds which I know isn't on my end because it never did that before.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Charlie, 2 months agoAmazing, I use it all the time. It makes twitch a personal experience, plus it skips the ads
