Same issue here after a while without any ad. I feel like that streaming website is trying to bypass adblockers.
Hi, chiming in with confirmation, just tried to load a stream (01:30 GMT 17/11/2020) and got a very pervasive Shadowlands preroll, looks as though Amazon may not yet be done with their efforts to defeat this.
Thanks for the work so far and for your continuted efforts.
also got a preroll just now Browser : Firefox Region : NA
Hi folks, the latest update should fix this.
New version has already been approved in the addon store (thanks Mozilla for the fast reviews!). Go to your Addons page and check for updates in the top right.
The version in the extension store is under manual review (thanks Google :/), which may take a few days.
So for the moment, you can uninstall that version and install the newest extension manually:
I've also added a new options page, so in the future when Twitch patches it again, you can simply change the user-agent to the latest one in this GitHub repo, instead of waiting for the extension stores to update.
Less than half an hour and it's fixed. Thanks for making Twitch better.
an alternative to messing with zip files is to simply git clone the repo and tell chrome to load unpacked from that directory. updating is then just a git pull.
thanks for your work on this extension.
Hello to the twitch dev who's going to fix this in a couple of weeks 👋 I'm pretty sure they are watching
Uh yeah, I'm gonna need a donation link. I'd rather pay you than twitch. Checked your site, not there :(
Still isn't working for me.
chrome webstore still on old v1.0.0
v1.1.0 working https://github.com/odensc/ttv-ublock/archive/extension.zip
I have a feeling simply changing the user agent won't last long, the twitch devs are monitoring these workaround really closely. The only real way to circumvent the ads is by removing the tags in the .m3u8 like streamlink is doing. If there's a way to intercept and modify responses (ie. done in extension like tamper) that would be ideal.

works for now! thanks for the guide.
I have an idea @odensc: Could the current "working" user agent be stored on GitHub (or somewhere else) and then fetched automatically regularly? That way the extension wouldn't have to be updated as often. (and if I read the code correctly, that isn't happening yet?)

The version in the extension store is under manual review (thanks Google :/), which may take a few days.
@odensc In the past Google manually reviewed (and then denied) my extension because it didn't have an icon (the extension, not the store page). If you get rejected you should try and see if adding an icon prevents manual review.
Do you think it would work on the alternate player if the url whitelist included chrome-extension://bhplkbgoehhhddaoolmakpocnenplmhf/player.html?channel=* ? ty for you work
edit: apparently chrome says "unknown or URL pattern is malformed"
First off thank you so much for making this extension and updating it. Second, the Google store has updated it to the latest version.
It got patched again on Firefox.
Well, I am seeing ads again...
It got patched again on Firefox.
Yeah I didn't notice until after I posted my comment. I'm using edge chromium so I just installed the unpacked version again.
I actually have the google web store version installed then installed the un packed version. Is there any harm in having both installed? My plan is to uninstall the unpacked version once the google web store version is updated so I can keep the one that will auto update.
Well, I am seeing ads again...
Weird. Still not seeing ads. Do you have the latest version (1.1.1)
Ads again for me
We are aware the extension is broken again. Tracking in #11
Just got a preroll ad after not getting one since getting the Firefox extension.
