# Block Twitch ads
* I use [Violentmonkey](https://violentmonkey.github.io/get-it/) with the [AdGuard Extra](https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardExtra?tab=readme-ov-file#adguard-extra) userscript. This helps uBlock Origin block server-side ads.
For Twitch adblock, I use [Violentmonkey](https://violentmonkey.github.io/get-it/) with the [AdGuard Extra](https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardExtra?tab=readme-ov-file#adguard-extra) userscript. This helps uBlock Origin block server-side ads.
You can also use Tampermonkey as a Twitch adblock solution.
# Block YouTube ads
* uBlock Origin on Firefox should be okay.
Adblock not working on YouTube?
* uBlock Origin on Firefox should be okay. If adblock is no longer working on YouTube, check the [subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/).
* If using [uBlock Origin Lite](https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home?tab=readme-ov-file#ubo-lite), open the popup panel and set the filtering mode to **Complete** on `youtube.com` and any other ad-invasive site.
* For more info, see our [new section](https://github.com/yokoffing/filterlists?tab=readme-ov-file#ublock-origin-lite) on uBlock Origin Lite.

### Which browser works best with uBO?
[uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/blog/ublock-origin-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-ad-blocker/) works [best](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox) in Mozilla Firefox. The features supported only on [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) include preventing unwanted [DNS requests](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dashboard:-Settings#disable-prefetching) and CNAME [uncloaking](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dashboard:-Settings#uncloak-canonical-names).
Starting June 2024, Google Chrome's extension platform will undergo changes that require users to transition from uBlock Origin (uBO) to uBO Lite (uBOL). It's expected that other Chromium-based browsers like Microsoft Edge, Opera, and Vivaldi, will follow suit shortly after.
### uBlock Origin Lite ?

uBlock Origin can [do more](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/About-%22Why-uBlock-Origin-works-so-much-better-than-Pi%E2%80%91hole-does%3F%22) compared to when only blocking requests at the DNS-level, like using [cosmetic filters](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Does-uBlock-Origin-block-ads-or-just-hide-them%3F#cosmetic-filters) to hide first-party ads (e.g., [YouTube ads](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-block-ads-on-youtube/253)), [ad-placeholders](https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r33005057-How-to-block-the-spaces-taken-up-by-blocked-ads), web [annoyances]((https://reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/t8qn8c/comment/hzqrrfa/?context=3)), etc.<sup>[1](https://help.nextdns.io/t/x2hzbps/using-nextdns-why-is-ublock-origin-still-catching-lots-of-ads)</sup>
