▷ How to make Adblock work on Twitch?

Adblock is more likely to not work on Twitch if you are using an outdated Adblock browser extension. Other causes may be the Chrome network service, the browser player, a suboptimal configuration of the Adblock extension filters, problems with the browser or with the browser extension.

Twitch

Ad blocking browser extensions are software, capable of removing or altering online advertising in a browser / Web Application. But these extensions sometimes don't block Twitch ads since Twitch has inserted the ad directly into the stream..

The following are the ways one can block Twitch ads:

Solution 1: make sure the AdBlock extension is up to date

Technology evolves day by day and if you don't update your browser extensions regularly, may have many problems. Then, if you are using an outdated AdBlock extension, that particular extension may not be able to block ads on Twitch. By way of illustration, we will use Google Chrome with the AdBlock extension installed.

1. Open Chrome and in the address bar type

   chrome://extensions 

   and hit Enter.

Solution 2: enable browser extension settings

Many AdBlock extensions start blocking ads immediately after they are added to the browser, but they have a separate setting to control ads on Twitch and this setting is not enabled by default and you need to enable it to block ads on Twitch. Therefore, enabling the setting may solve the problem. We will use Google Chrome and AdBlock for illustration purposes.

1. Open Chrome and click on the »AdBlock» icon near the bottom of the address bar. Instructions for your extension may be different from these. Click on the Adblock icon

1. Open Cromar and in the address bar type

   cromar://flags
   

   and hit Enter.

   Chrome flags
