Ads not being blocked on Twitch
I have never had problems with adblock plus before but just a few days ago ads on Twitch.tv were no longer being blocked. All ads show, not just on certain streams. I do not have Twitch whitelisted and never have.
Re: Ads not being blocked on Twitch
it seems some streams have the ads included in the stream itself, so ... there is nothing to do in this case.

Re: Ads not being blocked on Twitch
Some findings about the new ad system twitch is using.
Scenario:
Is a streamer using the latest ad injection used by twitch. ( )
Scenario 1:
- Safari 10.0.3
- Adblock plus 1.12.4
- Filter list used EasyList
- No custom filters
- Using HTML 5 Player
Not seeing any ads. Looking in the console. Safari is blocking:
"XMLHttpRequest cannot load. Origin ."
Scenario2:
- Chrome 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit)
- Adblock plus 1.12.4
- Filter list used Easylist
- No custom filters
Not seeing ads at the start of the stream. But do see ads activated by the streamer.
Scenario2 not seeing anymore ads after adding these 4 custom filters.
Perhaps you can use these also ?
Regards Jerome

Update:
Now ads are also played through safari.
These filters don't work anymore mentioned above.
Back to the drawing table....
