pixeltris b9a895cc5a Update recommendations and relist vaft
"Video Ad-Block, for Twitch (fork)" has been relisted in the recommendations as it does still work in terms of hiding the ads.

"vaft" has been improved and relisted. This solution is now a hybrid of embed / proxy / the "commercial break in progress" screen. If one method fails it moves to the next.

Proxy issues

Proxy solutions can have downtime and you'll either see ads or error 2000. This isn't Twitch retaliating.

Buffering may occur at higher resolutions. This happens because traffic comes from a Twitch server closest to the initial m3u8 proxy request. The only solution to this is asking the proxy maintainer to add a proxy in a country closer to you. If they wont then you'll need to use a lower resolution, or use a different ad blocking solution. A VPN might also be better solution for you.
