Youtube is fine for me, never stopped working here on firefox with ublock origin, but twitch though, yesterday I couldn't watch any stream for 5 seconds without a error that only went away after turning everything off and letting the ads flow.
Check out TTV LOL PRO. It's available on Firefox and Chrome and blocks all the ads on Twitch. Very rarely I'll get a purple "streamer is taking an ad break" screen, but I haven't seen an ad in quite a while.
I was using video-swap-new from the ad solutions GitHub for months, only recently this happened, such a shame.
TTV LOL does it via a proxy. You can set it up so that it only proxies ads. As far as Twitch knows, you're still being served ads.
Ive been using the vaft script permalink with no issues, as recently as last night.
Same here. Firefox and uBlock Origin. My son uses Chrome with uBlock Origin and was having problems. Constantly and me to check and never a problem. I mostly only watch YouTube on ReVanced
I had that issue, then got a user agent switcher and made my firefox on linux look like chrome on windows and I have no issues. Using ublock origin
