Twitch stitches its ads straight into the video stream, so classic ad blockers can't remove them. No ads for Purple works differently: when an ad break starts, it swaps in a clean copy of the same live stream, in the same quality (up to 1080p60), and you keep watching. Banners around the player are hidden too. Nothing to configure, no account, no data collected. Works in Chrome, Brave, Edge and other Chromium browsers.

Could you build this?
Partial The concept is clear and a browser extension can be prototyped, but it depends on reverse-engineering Twitch's ad-insertion and playlist (HLS) behavior, which changes often and needs fast, precise stream switching.
What it would actually take: Build a browser extension that intercepts Twitch's HLS manifest requests, detects ad-break markers (SCTE-35 or ad segment tags), and fetches a clean variant playlist for the same channel to swap in seamlessly. The hard part is staying ahead of Twitch's frequent changes and keeping playback smooth, which takes streaming-protocol expertise and ongoing maintenance.
