## What it is
A browser extension that blocks ads on Twitch.tv by temporarily switching to an ad-free 480p stream during ad breaks and restoring original quality afterward. It works entirely locally with no proxies, VPNs, or third-party services, and is available for Firefox, Chrome, and Edge.

## Use cases
- block ads on twitch streams
- avoid twitch commercial breaks
- watch twitch without ads in chrome
- skip purple screen ad breaks on twitch
- ad-free twitch viewing in firefox
- stop twitch mid-roll ads

## When to choose
- you watch Twitch regularly and want a lightweight, fully local ad-blocking solution
- you want an extension with no proxies, tracking, or referral links
- you use Firefox, Chrome, or Edge and want a simple install

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed ad blocking with no quality drop during ads
- Twitch has changed its ad delivery and the extension is no longer maintained effectively
- you need ad blocking beyond Twitch (use uBlock Origin instead)

- maturity: maintenance
- function: privacy, browser-extension
- domain: browser-extensions, privacy, media
- platform: browser, browser-extension
