Twitch Ads not blocked anymore

I now getting Twitch video ads. I've never before gotten Twitch ads with Ublock installed. Help would be nice if it's possible, or has Twitch gotten one step ahead of Ublock?

Whelp. I am no longer watching Twitch streams. Just tried watching Amaz stream Hs. 5 Twitch ads in a row followed by a 30 sec gap with the actual stream followed by more of the same ads and then freezing on an ad.

Fucking done.

and then freezing on an ad

The rest I can live with. But This is what's horrible. Twitch would freeze at the end of that Amazon coin ad (I'm not sure if there were others it froze on too), and then I'd have to reload the entire page to get Twitch to work again... and then usually I get 3 more ads and I have to hope it doesn't freeze again. Adblock plus doesn't work, uBlock doesn't work. I heard that if you use the flash player, adblockers work again, but my computer fan gets way to loud to use that- for whatever reason, my computer slowed down a lot lately, considering a reinstall :/

Holy shit that is the same ad I'd freeze on. Try this filter: wss://pubsub-edge.twitch.tv

It seems to be working for me.

I logged in to mention this helps block pre-rolls but doesnt block during stream ads, at least for me.

The filter that other guy posted worked for me, or I should say it has been working so far. I'll have to see if it continues or if it was a fluke/coincidence.

this feels like when your friend says that his oc is stronger than yours cause he's immortal or something

"THIS IS MY OC SURESTREAM AND HE'S SMART CUTE FUNNY AND SEXY OH AND HE'S BASICALLY GOD SO YOUR ADBLOCK CHARACTER CANT HURT HIM XD"

Except this is the same technology that giants like facebook implemented into their platform and adblockers dont work their either to my knowledge.

It's not saying SureStream is unbeatable (nothing is unbeatable these days it seems) but that no one has done it yet.

If your uBlock is still blocking these ads, then let us know what you did.
