Twitch Ad Blackout by Maui

Twitch Ad Blackout hides Twitch ads instead of fighting them. The moment an ad starts, it mutes the tab and drops a clean black screen over the video, leaving only the ad countdown so you know how long is left. When the ad ends, sound and picture come back automatically.

It doesn't block or modify ad requests — the ad still loads and plays out, silently, behind the black screen — so it sidesteps the usual anti-ad-block cat-and-mouse.

Designed to stay lightweight and reliable:

• Minimal permissions — only access to twitch.tv. No access to your tabs, your browsing data, or your network requests.
• No data collection — no tracking, no analytics, no external servers.
• Accurate detection — it reacts to what's actually on the player, so it stays correct across page reloads and channel switches, and triggers the instant an ad appears.
• Easy on your machine — it responds to player changes instead of constantly polling, and keeps working even while the stream plays in a background tab.
• Controls stay usable — play/pause, volume, settings and fullscreen remain visible and clickable during the ad.
