Brave also struggles with it, and any other adblocker really. As you’ve already alluded to, uBlock Origin also struggled with Twitch ads for quite a while (and is still somewhat hit and miss from what I read, but better than others). It has been and will always be a cat and mouse game most likely.

Facebook made a similar hard-to-circumvent move against tracking parameter stripping recently: Some companies like Twitch go out of their way to deliver their ads to you, in their case they have embedded them into the videos themselves. So you can look at the little fly on the wall all you want, the truth is only Brave has worked in a decent native adblocker because it is the closest thing to uBlock and it is still not there for many small reasons, but it is the only one that will do it when Manifestv3 finally is the only thing and Kiwi and uBlock will not be a thing anymore, let’s be honest Kiwi won’t be able to upgrade to newer Chromium versions and keep Manifestv2.īut, Opera is worst than Vivaldi and Vivaldi is not that great because it is missing too many features, so why would Edge be any better? At least they are doing something but a company like Google of course will keep changing and changing trying to stop adblockers and find new ways to serve ads that are harder to yes, you are right of course. But I don’t think it is something that can be used in other adblockers but uBlock.Īnyway, eventually Youtube might to the same, they are actually nicer than Amazon since they fight adblockers but don’t add super greedy technologies. All native adblockers are a joke, the only one that seems to be almost there is Brave but they are still missing couple features.īut eventually not even Brave will work like happens on Twitch, where you have to use uBlock advanced users to sideload a script that sometimes works and sometimes it doesn’t and I think it still sends the stream to 480p to avoid ads, better than nothing, if not people would have to use the proxy version to avoid ads.
