For anyone having issues with hiding ads, using this together with the uBlock Origin script from github repo pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions seems to work.

Great extension. Very useful with the hotkeys and simplistic UI. Recommended!

I used to have a lot of buffering problems with twitch, but now i get a smooth experience! Yippee!

I have a problem with points. Points not showing up, click to accept.

Works great, gave me extra quality settings with an ad block which I'd been struggling to get beforehand.

Does what it says. You lose some plug-in functionality compared to the regular player, but there's too many ads on Twitch to use it without this anymore.

This is a decent player, with features that trump the default twitch player. I haven't seen a twitch ad since installing it. My only gripe so far is that it takes around 5 to 6 seconds to init and load the stream.

really solid. is faster then twitch's garbage default player and does well at blocking ads. Also can now chat which is great.
main gripe would be: drops do not work with this afaik

It's working again!! Please change your 1 star reviews back now it's fixed!

Twitch has tried many times to kill it. Twitch has failed many times to kill it. It may take a few days but the alt player always lives.
