I've been working on an open-source browser extension called StreamBlock.
The original goal was solving a problem I kept running into on Twitch: most ad blockers either stop working or replace ads with a black screen while you wait for the stream to return.
StreamBlock uses a different approach. During Twitch ad breaks, it switches to an ad-free backup stream and automatically returns to the main stream when the ad break ends, so you can keep watching instead of staring at a black screen.
Current features:
- Twitch ad blocking
- YouTube ad blocking
- Tracker blocking
- Open source
- Free to use
- No account required
The project is still in beta, and I'm mainly looking for feedback from people who use Twitch and YouTube regularly.

Chrome Web Store:

I'd especially appreciate feedback on:
- Reliability
- Performance (CPU/RAM usage)
- Twitch compatibility
- Conflicts with other extensions
- Bugs and edge cases
Happy to answer any technical questions.
