Block Twitch ads: How to enjoy streams ad-free

Advertising is not only annoying when watching TV,but also on Twitch. To enjoy Twitch streams ad-free, you can resort to some extensions for your browser or sign up for a paid Twitch Prime subscription.

Block ads - here's how it works on Twitch

To block ads on Twitch, you have several options. With free browser extensions like uBlock Origin or AdBlock Plus, you can prevent yourself from receiving ads. However, the ad blocker does not always work perfectly - so occasionally you may still see ads.

This is how you add a browser extension in Google Chrome:

1. Go to the Chrome Web Store in Google Chrome.
2. There you can search for extensions via the search mask and then select the one you want.
3. Then click on "Add to Chrome"

This is how you add browser extensions in Mozilla Firefox:

1. Use the menu button in the upper right corner to open the drop-down menu.
2. Select the item "Add-ons".
3. In the navigation on the left you will find "Discover add-ons".
4. Click there on "View more add-ons". Using the search there, you can search the offer for the desired extensions.

However, you should keep in mind that Twitch streamers are sometimes financed by advertising. So consider turning off the ad blocker on your favorite streamers to support the channel.

Advertising-free as an Amazon Prime customer

If you are an Amazon Prime customer, you can link your Amazon and Twitch accounts. By linking the accounts, you will get some benefits on the livestreaming platform. Among them is the ad-free playback of streams. Only when you turn on the stream, you will then see advertising.
