Key notes
Many Windows 10 users reported getting ads on Twitch even with Adblock. Even if this is an unusual problem, it seems like several users are sometimes facing it.
You should first remember that you can use AdBlock to stop ads on Twitch and similar video streaming sites.
If your AdBlock is not working on Twitch, make sure you read this guide completely and discover the best solutions to fix it.
Before getting into our main subject, let’s have a look at some reasons why you should definitely use an ad-blocker for Twitch.
Why doesn’t AdBlock work on Twitch?
If your AdBlock doesn’t work on Twitch, it’s possible that your extension is out of date, and it needs to be updated in order to work, or maybe you need to use a different ad block extension.
Modifying certain hidden settings of your browser can help you with this and many other problems on Twitch.
Do ad blockers still work on Twitch?
Yes, ad blockers do work on Twitch, but some might be more efficient than others. If your current one doesn’t work, be sure to update it.
Alternatively, you canswitch to a different ad block extensionand check if it works. Keep in mind that this issue affects all browsers, and users reported that Adblock is not working on Twitch in Firefox and Chrome alike.
Why should I use an ad-blocker for Twitch?
Twitch is notorious for serving a lot of ads, and if a viewer experiences a long ad break, there are reports of them being served up to 9 adverts in a row.
Users consider this a total nightmare. In some countries, the same ad will play repeatedly at regular intervals – literally driving them mad.
So, using an efficient ad-blocker for Twitch will definitely let you enjoy a complete experience, without being bothered by external notifications while streaming.
Now, let’s see what you can do if AdBlock can not stop ads on Twitch.
How can I fix the Twitch AdBlock not working?
1. Try a different browser
One way to deal with this issue is to try out a different browser. Unlike many other options on the market,Opera GXcomes with a built-in ad-blocker, so it will block all ads, even the ones on Twitch.
We should mention that this browser is built on Chromium, so all extensions that you use in Chrome will work in Opera GX as well.
In addition, there’s a malware scanner so you’ll be warned if you visit a malicious website or if you download a malicious file.
If you’re looking for a browser that is focused heavily onmaking your life as a gamer and a fan of streaming a whole lot easier, then Opera GX is the web browser for you.
In addition, if you choose to use it, you won’t have to worry again about not being able to stop ads on Twitch with AdBlocker.

2. Update your Adblock extensions
1.Hit theWindowskey, type yourbrowser’s name, then open the first result (In this case, we’re giving theChromeexample).
2.Now, click on the3 vertical dotsfrom the right-top corner of the window to open theChrome General menu.
3.Hover the mouse overMore tools, then click onExtensions.
4.From the right-top corner of the page, tick theDeveloper modecheck box to enable this function.
5.Click on theUpdatebutton.
6.Restart your browser and check if the problem is still there.
You should know that browser extensions usually update themselves just fine as new versions are released.
However, if your AdBlock isn’t working on Twitch, making sure it’s up-to-date is a good first step in troubleshooting.
After doing that check if the Twitch Adblock in Chrome is working.
3. Change advanced settings
4. Try Alternate Player for Twitch.TV
What are the best AdBlockers for Twitch?
TTV LOL is a popular Ad-Block for Twitch, that many people on Reddit recommend. You can get it for Firefox or Chrome. It is extremely popular, being downloaded over 30,000 times, and has 4.2 stars in Chrome Store.
It is designed to block Livestream ads without affecting video quality and without causing the purple screen of death.
A reliable Ad-Block that seems to be working excellently for the time being, and that I can highly recommend to any Twitch user.
This is another popular ad block that is designed to remove pesky ads on Twitch. It is also available for both Chrome and Firefox.
It works by replacing ads with a low-quality stream (between 1080p and 480p) for the duration of the ads, before switching you back onto the high-quality stream (when the ad is over).
Purple Ad-block is recommended for Twitch users by several experts, being available both for Chrome and Firefox.
It works by proxying M3U8 playlist files from Twitch to provide a server-side signature that allows videos to play without ads. It only works on the official Twitch website, so do not try it on alternate sites.
TTV AdEraser promises not only to remove ads but also to improve your twitch experience by giving you some extra features (such as hovering over channel icons to preview a stream). It works by playing Twitch videos through a custom embedded player.
Twitch Adblock Opera, Opera GX Twitch Adblock
Opera and Opera GX have built-in ad blockers, so they can easily block ads on Twitch. Just enable this option from the settings and you’re good to go.
If you encounter any issues, you can always use third-party Adblock extensions on Opera. You can even use Chrome extensions since the browser is based on the Chromium engine.
There you go, four simple solutions that might help you if you’re still getting ads on Twitch. In most cases, you just need to update your extensions and you’re good to go.
Keep in mind that this isn’t the only problem that you can encounter, and many reportedTwitch network error 2000, but we already covered it in a separate guide.
