It works fine for me, but I mostly watch one streamer who only streams on Twitch. My ad blocker blocks their stupid ads on stuff I periodically check out that I'm not subbed to (e.g. MP events hosted by someone else), so it's generally a good experience.
However, the front page is absolute cancer, and it's why I don't watch many other streams. I just want my steamer and related content, and a few random favorited streamers from other games I very occasionally watch. I feel a little bad about the ad blocker, but that's because there's no in-between AFAIK where I can sub to 1-2 channels and still get no ads on the very rare occasions I'll watch something else (less than once/month).
What ad blocker?
uBlock Origin on Firefox.
I have ublock, out of the box it does not impact twitch ads in any way.
Do you have special add ons or filters?
I think just EasyList, not sure, it has been a long time since I set it up. Here's my config though:
My custom rules are pretty barebones, but here's that as well (I'm pretty sure neither is related to Twitch):
Let me know if there's a better way for me to help.
Ill be trying these when I get home, thank you!
Np! Feel free to reach out if you have issues and I can to a little more digging.
I do this with 1 streamer, too. I sub with prime though.
Ive seen the odd stream of a related streamer but normally just catch vods on youtube for anyone related.
Who is your one streamer out of interest?
Mines paymoneywubby.
Ayyy. I very occasionally watch the live stream I usually just catch him on paymoneywubby stream archive on YouTube.
Wubby7
FlorryWorry.
He mostly plays Europa Universalis IV and is incredibly creative and entertaining with his runs. He is also the reigning champ for the Paradox tournaments (undefeated), yet he is still very humble about it. I'm in the US, so I mostly watch his VODs, but I'll occasionally join live if he's doing a charity event or something.
I'll occasionally watch BudgetMonk (another EU4 streamer), or watch some MtG or Eternal (haven't watched either for a couple years). But 99% of the it's FlorryWorry or a live event w/ him on another channel (Paradox tournaments are on YouTube, so it's infrequent).
