 This repo aims to provide multiple solutions for blocking Twitch ads.
 
+## Recommendations
+
+M3U8 proxies (or full proxies) are currently the most reliable way of avoiding ads (assuming you trust the third party). More proxy hosts would be ideal (see [#8](https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions/issues/8)).

+If you don't trust third parties then `dyn-skip` / `dyn-skip-midroll` are decent. `ttv-tools` (firefox) also has nice features.

 ## Current solutions
