Yes. You can block ads by creating a special script, you can find the info on how to do that at the end of this GitHub ticket but I’ll paste it here too.
Navigate to the uBlock Origin Dashboard (the extension options)
Under the My filters tab add twitch.tv##+js(twitch-videoad).
Under the Settings tab, enable I am an advanced user, then click the cog that appears.
Modify the value of userResourcesLocation from unset to the URL https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions/raw/master/vaft/vaft-ublock-origin.js
Then just disable and reenable uBlock to refresh it and you should be good to go.
I think website developers and ad block developers will be in a continual back and forth. Websites trying to find ways to disable ad blockers and ad blockers trying to find ways around them so they could continue blocking ads.
Oh no! Anyway…
continues using an AdBlocker
Not when they disable ad blockers like twitch
My AdBlocker still works on twitch, you just have to do some fanaegling with user scripts.
Really? How do you do it? I’m assuming you use ublock origin

Holy shit thank you!
It ain’t much but it’s honest work
Wow, this is awesome. Thank you for sharing this, will add this to my ublock :)
In that moment, I will use piped. If piped goes down, I will use nebula. Anything over paying youtube.
Then I won’t use youtube since the content is not really worth watching ads or paying for.
There are still alternative frontends like piped.video that don’t show ads
This aged as expected 😓

I use adblocker in Firefox mobile. Noticed YouTube keeps downgrading the quality on every video load even tho higher quality is set to auto
