I think this is most likely sadly.
There has been no working adblocker for twitch.tv for over a year now. As far as I know, they are splicing the ad directly into the main video stream while it’s playing, so there’s no way to differentiate it from the content at all.
Surely it’s only a matter of time before youtube starts doing this too.
- coldpie 5y ago> Surely it’s only a matter of time before youtube starts doing this too. I recently learned about the SponsorBlock extension[1] for YouTube. It's a crowdsourced collection of the location and duration of in-band sponsorships in YouTube videos. The extension queries the database for each video, then skips over the sponsorship portion of the video. I don't use it myself, since I don't mind skipping sponsorships manually, but it's kind of fascinating that it exists and (apparently) works.

- bspammer 5y agoOh yeah SponsorBlock is great! It reminds me of Wikipedia - it is surprisingly reliable given that it's crowdsourced. It does rely on the sponsor being at the same location in the video every time though, so it's not a solution to twitch-style adverts.
