Luminous TTV browser extension

A browser extension to avoid ads on Twitch. See Luminous TTV for the other half of the code. Should work in any Chrome-like browser and Firefox.

Setup

Prerequisite: The server must be running on your machine for this extension to work.

1. Download the latest release.
2. Load the extension:
   • Chrome: Open the Extensions page, enable Developer mode, and drag the ZIP onto the page. Alternatively, use Load unpacked to load the contents of the ZIP file.
   • Firefox: In the extensions tab, click the gear, select Debug Add-ons, and use Load Temporary Add-on. Extension will be removed on every browser restart.

Building

Prerequisite: Ensure you have Node and NPM installed*.

1. npm install
2. npm run build
3. Extension files including ZIP are output to dist directory.

*: That link is the fast way. Read this guide for the correct way.

Issues

• In Firefox, and browsers built using its code, the extension's error failsafe code can't be used. If the server isn't running, you won't be able to view any streams on Twitch. (In Chrome-like browsers, this extension will fall back to the ad-filled stream when anything goes wrong.)
• A white pixel will appear in the bottom left of the Twitch page. This is an ad iframe that fails to load due to being blocked.
