 ## Applying a solution (uBlock Origin)
 
-uBlock Origin solutions are single files, suffixed by `ublock-origin.js` e.g. `low-res-ublock-origin.js`.
-
 - Navigate to the uBlock Origin Dashboard (the extension options)
 - Under the `My filters` tab add `twitch.tv##+js(twitch-videoad)`.
 - Under the `Settings` tab, enable `I am an advanced user`, then click the cog that appears. Modify the value of `userResourcesLocation` from `unset` to the full url of the solution you wish to use (if a url is already in use, add a space after the existing url). e.g. `userResourcesLocation https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions/master/dyn/dyn-ublock-origin.js` 
+- To ensure uBlock Origin loads the script I recommend that you disable/enable the uBlock Origin extension (or restart your browser).
 
 ## Applying a solution (userscript)
 
-Tampermonkey / Greasemonkey can be used on the files suffixed by `user.js` e.g. `low-res.user.js`

+- https://github.com/ttvintrusiveadblocker/ttv-intrusive-blocker
+ - Uses a proxy on the main m3u8 file to get a stream without ads (no prerolls / midrolls).
+- https://github.com/odensc/ttv-ublock
+ - Simulates `embed` Twitch player at a network level (doesn't modify DOM).
+ - Twitch detects this and may display a purple screen every 10-15 mins asking the user to remove ad blockers.
+- https://github.com/Nerixyz/ttv-tools
+ - Notifies Twitch that ads were watched and then reloads the player.
+ - Can replace ad segments with a customm video (instead of ad skipping).
+ - Can keep stream at lowest latency (speeds up stream if too far behind).
+- https://github.com/LeonHeidelbach/ttv_adEraser
+ - Modifies DOM to switch between the `embed` player when there's ads. May display purple screen if both ads and purple screen show at the same time?
+- https://github.com/instance01/Twitch-HLS-AdBlock
+ - Removes ad segments. May result in m3u8 being requested quickly in succession if all segments are removed.

+- https://reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/kisdsy/i_did_a_little_test_regarding_ads_on_twitch_and/
+ - Some countries don't get ads. A simple VPN/VPS could be used to block ads by proxying the m3u8 without having to run a VPS on your all your traffic (just the initial m3u8).
